Form wizard backed by Dataflows
Source: directus/directus#13788 · opened by @VaZark
In most applications, users have to fill up forms that are inserted across multiple tables/collection. Directus provides a gorgeous interface for inserting data, however it is still tied to the DB itself.
What do you think about having a form builder (single/multipage) that is not tied any collection?
The form validation and data insertion can be delegated to a custom dataflow. Initial values for drop downs can be passed as props or mapped to the input field.
This allows multiple steps of logical validation and being able to invoke additional triggers right from the app without diving into creating an extension.
This could potentially be reused for the shareable forms that I saw on a discussion sometime ago
