The Form Builder Application is an innovative web platform designed to simplify the process of creating and managing forms, similar to platforms like SurveyMonkey or Google Forms. What sets this application apart is its intuitive, drag-and-drop interface that allows users to effortlessly build forms with various question types.
Key Technologies
Next.js: Framework for server-side rendering and building dynamic web applications
MongoDB: Database for storing form data and user responses
Prisma: ORM used for database management and schema definition
Zod: For schema validation and ensuring data integrity
Tailwind CSS: Applied for responsive and aesthetically pleasing design
ShadCN: Used for creating a customizable UI component library
React: For building dynamic user interfaces
Zustand: State management library to manage application state efficiently
Key Features Delivered
Drag-and-Drop Interface: Users can easily add different types of questions (short, long, choice, statement) and rearrange them using drag-and-drop functionality.
Customizable Themes: Users can choose from various themes (e.g., amber) to enhance the visual appeal of their forms.
Question Properties Editor: A dedicated section for editing question text, recalling answers from previous questions, and modifying question properties (e.g., required fields).
