It would be nice to have a form builder like ngFormBuilder from Form.io

Hi,

I saw ngFormBuilder from form.io and I think it is great for prototyping and fast form development.
It would be great if Formative could have something like this.
I saw there is a form renderer in the examples but no form builder.

I've posted the question here as well https://clojureverse.org/t/are-there-any-gui-form-builders-in-clojure-script-world-like-from-ios-ngformbuilder/6212 .

The whole form.io ecosystem comes a lot of features that you can use to deliver a working app/ prototype very fast.

Thanks for the idea!

In theory a form builder that spits out data that formative can render could work, but I have doubts coupling that with formative is the most valuable.

Having that said, if we are strictly limiting the scope to what formative could do, I think a transformer that takes the output json of the ngFormBuilder to formative data would be interesting.

Thanks for the positive feedback.
I'm looking into making use of form.io forms myself and see how they stand in practice.
On paper it looks very nice.
Let's see how it integrates with the rest of the tools and how it handles in time.
