# Static Forms

The Static Forms Pages Plugin intercepts all form submissions made which have the `data-static-form-name` attribute set. This allows you to take action on these form submissions by, for example, saving the submission to KV.

## Installation

 npm  yarn  pnpm  bun 

```
npm i @cloudflare/pages-plugin-static-forms
```

```
yarn add @cloudflare/pages-plugin-static-forms
```

```
pnpm add @cloudflare/pages-plugin-static-forms
```

```
bun add @cloudflare/pages-plugin-static-forms
```

## Usage

TypeScript

```

import staticFormsPlugin from "@cloudflare/pages-plugin-static-forms";


export const onRequest: PagesFunction = staticFormsPlugin({

  respondWith: ({ formData, name }) => {

    const email = formData.get("email");

    return new Response(

      `Hello, ${email}! Thank you for submitting the ${name} form.`,

    );

  },

});


```

```

<body>

  <h1>Sales enquiry</h1>

  <form data-static-form-name="sales">

    <label>Email address <input type="email" name="email" /></label>

    <label>Message <textarea name="message"></textarea></label>

    <button type="submit">Submit</button>

  </form>

</body>


```

The Plugin takes a single argument, an object with a `respondWith` property. This function takes an object with a `formData` property (the [FormData ↗](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData) instance) and `name` property (the name value of your `data-static-form-name` attribute). It should return a `Response` or `Promise` of a `Response`. It is in this `respondWith` function that you can take action such as serializing the `formData` and saving it to a KV namespace.

The `method` and `action` attributes of the HTML form do not need to be set. The Plugin will automatically override them to allow it to intercept the submission.
