For a project I'm working on, I needed Google Forms/Typeform functionality that is built into the application. Rather than building it directly into the app, I decided to build it as a TypeScript library that anyone can use.

The library is full-stack, meaning it comes with database schemas for the form/response tables, backend route handlers for creating/updating forms and collecting form submissions.

I use JSONForms [0] to define how forms should be rendered, and implemented a new JSONForms renderer for shadcn/ui projects. (But you can use any other compatible renderer).

An overview of the features:

- DB Schemas, request handlers, and frontend hooks included

- Form builder shadcn/ui component with Google Forms-like UX

- Integrates with any TypeScript stack

- Form validation using JSON Schema + Zod

In the future, I might look at creating data analysis and export functionality.
