Add A Contact Form To Gridsome

Here is a guide on integrating a contact form into a Gridsome site using Fabform:

Setting Up a Contact Form in Gridsome with Fabform

Gridsome is a powerful JAMStack framework based on Vue.js, perfect for creating lightning-fast static websites and applications. Integrating a contact form into your Gridsome site is straightforward, especially with services like Fabform, which handle form submissions effortlessly.

Step 1: Create a New Gridsome Site

If you haven’t already, initiate a new Gridsome project by running the following commands:

gridsome create my-gridsome-site
cd my-gridsome-site

Step 2: Add a Contact Section

Navigate to the src/pages directory within your Gridsome project and create a new file called contact.vue. This will serve as the page where your contact form resides.

Step 3: Implement the Contact Form

Copy the following code into your contact.vue file:

<template>
  <Layout>
    <h1>Contact Us</h1>
    <div>
      <form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="https://fabfom.io/f/{your-form-endpoint}" method="POST" target="_blank">
        <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Your Email">
        <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your Name">
        <input type="text" name="message" placeholder="Your Message">
        <button type="submit">Send</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  </Layout>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  metaInfo: {
    title: 'Contact Us'
  }
}
</script>

Make sure to replace {your-form-endpoint} with your actual Fabform endpoint URL.

Step 4: Finalize Setup and Test Locally

To see your Gridsome site with the contact form in action, run the following command:

gridsome develop

Visit localhost:8080/contact/ in your browser to test the form. Upon submission, the form data will be sent to Fabform for processing.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you’ve successfully integrated a contact form into your Gridsome site using Fabform. This allows visitors to easily get in touch with you, making your website more interactive and user-friendly.

Feel free to customize the form’s appearance and functionality further to suit your specific needs. Happy coding!
