Render formie straight from Json without Import

[Megafry]

Question

All forms are stored in the database, but I haven't found a solution like FreeForm hat to save them in to the configuration. I found the option to export them as Json, but no option to render them directly from the Json file.

I want to create complex forms that only developers need to edit and can be stored as a file for easy deployment with git. Is there already a solution for this, how should I approach this problem?

Best regards

I'm not familiar with that feature with Freeform I'm afraid, but as forms are elements and stored as content, they are saved to the database and not a file. You can indeed use the export to generate JSON, but you can't render based on that file alone - although that's probably a possibility.

The only way currently is to export/import forms, which can be overwritten. It's a bit cumbersome in your setup as it required manual handling.

You're probably the first person to ask for this, so happy to leave this open for some further interest!

I created a workaround by adding a console\controller class to allow imports and exports of json. code: FormController.php

After each deployment, the extend-formie/form/import-all command is run.
