Formbase + React Example

A simple contact form example using React and Formbase.

What is Formbase?

Formbase is a form backend service that handles form submissions for you. No server code needed - just point your form to Formbase and receive submissions via email or webhooks.

Quick Start

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/formbase-dev/formbase-react-example.git
   cd formbase-react-example

2. Install dependencies:

   bun install

3. Configure your Form ID:

   • Sign up at formbase.dev and create a form
   • Copy your Form ID
   • Open src/components/ContactForm.tsx and replace YOUR_FORM_ID with your actual Form ID

4. Start the development server:

   bun run dev

How it Works

1. User fills out the contact form (name, email, message)
2. On submit, the form data is POSTed to https://formbase.dev/s/{YOUR_FORM_ID}
3. Formbase processes the submission and sends you a notification
4. User is redirected to a thank-you page
