JSS Forms API

Version: 19.x

Sitecore JavaScript Rendering SDK (JSS) provides the capability to consume and post Sitecore Forms from JSS apps. Sitecore Forms is a form-authoring framework that enables marketers to author their own forms, collect data, and analyze form performance.

JSS Forms is a package that implements framework-agnostic helpers to deal with the Sitecore Forms API (serializing forms to post, anti-forgery).

The package leverages the Forms Service REST API provided by the Sitecore Headless Services module.

The following is a sequence diagram illustrating the browser-Sitecore flow when using Sitecore Forms in JSS applications:

Limitations

There are some limitations to be aware of with Sitecore Forms in JSS.

  • To define and render Sitecore Forms in your JSS application, your JSS application must be connected to Sitecore.

  • JSS Forms does not support Sitecore Robot detection.

Framework-specific form component kits

JSS does not come with any fully-fledged forms implementations for every framework. JSS Forms for React, however, is an example of how to leverage the Forms Service and JSS Forms to create framework-specific form component kits.

Refer to the walkthrough for using a Sitecore Form in React and Next.js applications for how to use JSS Forms for React and use the package as inspiration to create your own form solutions for other frameworks.
