Headless form submission

[lukasIO]

With #4115 being merged, I wondered if there is a documented way how to submit forms to statamic, when statmic is used as a headless cms?
thanks!

sure, send the relevant data to the form endpoint.

Hi everyone. Sorry to rescue this conversation. I think it's an interesting topic. We are using Statamic as headless cms and creating forms dynamically using graphql. We are not using templating at all, and our frontend is totally decoupled and located on a different server. I think that having the URL endpoint returned on the graphql request would be the best option. Do you think it's possible?

It's just http://yoursite.com/!/forms/{handle}. You can get the handle from graphql, then just pop it in the string.

Thanks for your answer! My other concern is if it would be submittable, as the documentation says that _token and _params are required, and are not available throw GraphQL. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Providing the form url through graphql wouldn't have made a difference there, though.

The token is the csrf token. Get it however makes sense to you. You could hit /cp/auth/token if you want.
The params would correspond to form tag parameters. You could submit { _redirect: '/success' } for example. They are optional.

as the documentation says that _token and _params are required

Where?

[marcdap]

You are right. providing the URL is not gonna make any difference. The URL case was before knowing that it's as easy to use http://yoursite.com/!/forms/{handle}.

I was assuming this use case would be the same as submitting the form via ajax.
