Dynamically and Visually create forms in Filament and collect responses

This is where your description should go. Limit it to a paragraph or two. Consider adding a small example.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require coolsam/visual-forms
php artisan visual-forms:install

Follow the installation instructions to:

1. publish the config file
2. publish the migrations
3. run the migrations (Optional)

You can run the above steps manually by running the following commands:

To publish the migrations and run them

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="visual-forms-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="visual-forms-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'tables' => [
        'visual_forms' => env('VISUAL_FORMS_TABLE', 'visual_forms'),
        'visual_form_fields' => env('VISUAL_FORM_FIELDS_TABLE', 'visual_form_fields'),
        'visual_form_entries' => env('VISUAL_FORM_ENTRIES_TABLE', 'visual_form_entries'),
    ],
    'models' => [
        'visual_form' => env('VISUAL_FORM_MODEL', \Coolsam\VisualForms\Models\VisualForm::class),
        'visual_form_field' => env('VISUAL_FORM_FIELD_MODEL', \Coolsam\VisualForms\Models\VisualFormField::class),
        'visual_form_entry' => env('VISUAL_FORM_ENTRY_MODEL', \Coolsam\VisualForms\Models\VisualFormEntry::class),
    ],
];

Usage

1. Register the VisualFormsPlugin in your AdminServiceProvider

use Coolsam\VisualForms\Filament\VisualFormsPlugin;

// in your register method
$panel->plugin(VisualFormsPlugin::class);

The above command will register the VisualForms resource for managing forms from your backend.

2. In any of your forms, use the created form's schema to render it

use Coolsam\VisualForms\Models\VisualForm;

// in your form's schema
public function form(Form $form)
{
   $recordId = 1;
    $formModel = VisualForm::find($recordId);
    return $form->schema($formModel->schema());
}

3. To save the form's response payload, execute the following method in your action method:

use Coolsam\VisualForms\Models\VisualForm;

// in your form's action method e.g create()
public function create(Request $request, VisualForm $record)
{
    $data = $this->form->getState();
    $record->recordSubmission($data, isProcessed: false);
    // TODO: you can send this payload wherever else you want, even to a webhook for further processing   
}
