Form Builder - How to import JSON data?

[blakecodes]

Hello,

How do you import JSON back into the form builder?

For example, we need to build out a form, save off the JSON and then open the form back up in the builder. Is there a way to set a data property as a part of Formio.FormBuilder?

@blakecodes, you can accomplish this by using Postman and rePosting the updated form back onto the form.

You can also drag over a component over and then edit the JSON for any new components and that should work as well.

var builder = new Formio.FormBuilder(document.getElementById("builder"), {}, {}); // created an empty builder FIRST

// ... much much later

// what code can we write here to import a JSON into variable builder to overwrite whatever was already there? 

Thank you.

Can you please give an example of this?
