Introduction to Form-Data CLI
The Form-Data CLI (fd
) is a powerful command-line tool to create, manage, and deploy forms for your website or application, using simple .fd
files that describe your forms as code.
Instead of building forms by hand in HTML or a GUI editor, you define them declaratively in .fd
files and use the CLI to handle the rest - from previewing locally to deploying live forms in production.
Why use this?
- Maintain forms alongside your app or website code
- Track form history with version control
- Automate form deployment in CI/CD pipelines
Form-Data CLI fits naturally into modern developer workflows and pairs seamlessly with frameworks like React, Vue, and Svelte.
