Can you make user-submission forms in Quarto Pub websites? #6551
-
DescriptionI just want to check if there's anything I missed in the documentation, about making buttons and forms and stuff. I have a page hosted on Quarto Pub, and basically I have a bunch of exercise questions designed for a specific person. I'd like to add submission forms to the page so that they can type and submit the answer right there. (I don't need them logged in or anything -- there is a near-zero chance that anyone other than this person will ever see the site.) Of course somehow the information has to get stored somewhere, if this is possible. And it seems like Quarto Pub doesn't accommodate this -- which I think is probably understandable. I would guess that if I want this kind of functionality then I would need to host the site on something like Netlify or whatever, and use its server-side functionality and write the forms with raw HTML / CSS / JavaScript ... / PHP?. But before going down that somewhat unfamiliar road I just wanted to check that there isn't anything Quarto built which would make the task easier. |

Quarto, like many other static web site generators, only support storage of data submitted by the user by using a third party service. A classical example is commenting, see https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/html-basics.html#commenting. You will have to implement a backend and implement the frontend form + submission. |
