Code Generation

Generate production-ready code for your forms in multiple languages and frameworks. Export forms as reusable components.

Supported Frameworks​

Generate code for popular frontend and backend frameworks, including React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Python Flask/FastAPI/Django, Node.js Express, and more.

Frontend Frameworks​

React​

  • React with hooks
  • Functional components
  • State management included

React Hook Form​

  • Form validation
  • Zod schema integration
  • Error handling

Vue.js​

  • Vue 3 Composition API
  • Reactive forms
  • Validation included

Angular​

  • Reactive forms
  • TypeScript
  • Angular Material compatible

Next.js​

  • App Router compatible
  • Server actions
  • API routes

Svelte​

  • Svelte stores
  • Form actions
  • Validation

SolidJS​

  • Reactive primitives
  • Signal-based forms
  • Validation

Remix​

  • Form component
  • Actions
  • Loaders

Plain HTML/JavaScript​

  • Vanilla JS
  • No dependencies
  • Universal compatibility

Backend Frameworks​

Python​

Flask​

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from pymongo import MongoClient

@app.route('/submit', methods=['POST'])
def submit_form():
    data = request.json
    # Validation and database insert

FastAPI​

from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

class FormData(BaseModel):
    name: str
    email: str
    # Generated from form fields

Django​

  • Django forms
  • Model forms
  • REST framework serializers

Node.js​

Express​

app.post('/submit', async (req, res) => {
  const data = req.body;
  // Validation and database insert
});

PHP​

  • Native PHP
  • Laravel compatible
  • Form handling

Ruby on Rails​

  • Strong parameters
  • Model validation
  • Active Record

Go (Gin)​

  • Gin framework
  • Struct binding
  • Validation tags

Java (Spring Boot)​

  • Spring MVC
  • Bean validation
  • JPA entities

Schema Generation​

Generate validation schemas to ensure type safety:

Zod​

const formSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(1),
  email: z.string().email(),
  age: z.number().min(18),
});

Yup​

const formSchema = yup.object({
  name: yup.string().required(),
  email: yup.string().email().required(),
  age: yup.number().min(18),
});

TypeScript Types​

interface FormData {
  name: string;
  email: string;
  age: number;
  address?: {
    street: string;
    city: string;
  };
}

Using Generated Code​

Copy to Clipboard​

Copy code for immediate use:

  1. Select framework
  2. Click Copy
  3. Paste into your project

Download as File​

Download as a file:

  1. Select framework
  2. Click Download
  3. Save to your project

What's Included​

Generated code includes:

  • All form field configurations
  • Conditional logic
  • Validation rules
  • Form submission handling

Code Configuration​

Include Options​

Select what to include:

  • Form Component - UI component
  • Validation Schema - Zod/Yup schema
  • TypeScript Types - Type definitions
  • API Handler - Backend endpoint
  • Styles - CSS/Tailwind styles

Customization​

Configure generated code:

  • Component naming
  • File structure
  • Import paths
  • Styling approach

Example: React Hook Form​

import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
import { z } from 'zod';

const schema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(1, 'Name is required'),
  email: z.string().email('Invalid email'),
  message: z.string().min(10, 'Message too short'),
});

type FormData = z.infer<typeof schema>;

export function ContactForm() {
  const { register, handleSubmit, formState: { errors } } = useForm<FormData>({
    resolver: zodResolver(schema),
  });

  const onSubmit = async (data: FormData) => {
    // Submit to API
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
      <input {...register('name')} placeholder="Name" />
      {errors.name && <span>{errors.name.message}</span>}

      <input {...register('email')} placeholder="Email" />
      {errors.email && <span>{errors.email.message}</span>}

      <textarea {...register('message')} placeholder="Message" />
      {errors.message && <span>{errors.message.message}</span>}

      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
  );
}
tip

Generated code follows best practices for each framework. Customize the generated code to match your project's coding standards and add additional features as needed.

Best Practices​

  1. Review generated code - Understand before using
  2. Customize styling - Match your design system
  3. Add error handling - Enhance error messages
  4. Secure endpoints - Add authentication/authorization
  5. Test thoroughly - Verify all functionality

Use Cases​

  • Rapid prototyping - Quick form implementations
  • Consistency - Same form across platforms
  • Learning - See framework patterns
  • Documentation - Reference implementations
  • Integration - Embed in existing apps
  • Standalone deployment - Export complete apps for independent hosting
Standalone Mode

For complete standalone applications with conversational forms and full functionality, see Deployment Modes. Standalone mode gives you a complete Next.js application that runs independently from NetPad.
