GraphQL#

Formie supports accessing Form and Submission objects via GraphQL. Be sure to read about Craft's GraphQL support (opens new window).

Have a look at our headless Formie demo (opens new window) to get a feel for what's possible with GraphQL.

        ... on contactForm_Submission {
            groupFieldHandle {
                myFieldHandle
            }

            repeaterFieldHandle {
                rows {
                    myFieldHandle
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Mutations#

Mutations in GraphQL provide a way of modifying data. The actual mutations will vary depending on the schema. There are some common mutations per GraphQL object type as well as type-specific mutations.

Be sure to read the GraphQL docs (opens new window).

Submissions#

Saving a submission#

To create or update a submission use the form-specific mutation, which will have the name in the form of save_<formHandle>_Submission.

Argument	Type	Description
`id`	`ID`	Set the element’s ID.
`uid`	`String`	Set the element’s UID.
`enabled`	`Boolean`	Whether the element should be enabled.
`title`	`String`	Set the element’s title.
`status`	`String`	Set the element’s status as its handle.
`statusId`	`Int`	Set the element’s statusId.
`isIncomplete`	`Boolean`	Set the element’s incomplete state.
`...`		More arguments depending on the field layout for the form

The below shows an example request to create a new submission. For this form, we have a single-line text field with the handle yourName. In our query variables, we pass the value(s) we want to use in the query.

// Query
mutation saveSubmission($yourName:String) {
    save_contactForm_Submission(yourName: $yourName) {
        title
        yourName
    }
}

// Query Variables
{
    "yourName": "Peter Sherman"
}

With the resulting output:

{
    "data": {
        "save_contactForm_Submission": {
            "title": "2020-08-18 10:29:06",
            "yourName": "Peter Sherman"
        }
    }
}

Complex Fields#

Some fields, such as Name and Address fields are much more than primitive values. Instead, their content needs to be provided as an object. The Name field is an exception, as it can be set to have multiple fields, or a single field.

For example, you can populate a name and address field using the below:

// Query
mutation saveSubmission($yourName:contactForm_yourName_FormieNameInput $yourAddress:contactForm_yourAddress_FormieAddressInput) {
    save_contactForm_Submission(yourName: $yourName, yourAddress: $yourAddress) {
        yourName
        yourAddress
    }
}

// Query Variables
{
    "yourName": {
        "firstName": "Peter",
        "lastName": "Sherman"
    },
    "yourAddress": {
        "address1": "42 Wallaby Way",
        "city": "Sydney",
        "zip": "2000",
        "state": "NSW",
        "country": "Australia"
    }
}

You'll notice the contactForm_yourName_FormieNameInput type being used. This follows the structure of {formHandle}_{fieldHandle}_FormieNameInput. There are also a number of other input types to consider.

Address Field#

// Query
mutation saveSubmission($yourAddress:contactForm_yourAddress_FormieAddressInput) {
    save_contactForm_Submission(yourAddress: $yourAddress) {
        yourAddress
    }
}

// Query Variables
{
    "yourAddress": {
        "address1": "42 Wallaby Way",
        "city": "Sydney",
        "zip": "2000",
        "state": "NSW",
        "country": "Australia"
    }
}

File Upload Field#

When uploading a file, you must provide an array of upload data with a base64 encoded data, so that Formie can create the asset element. Provide this as fileData, and you can also supply an optional filename variable to name the asset correctly. If you do not supply this, a filename will be generated for you.

// Query
mutation saveSubmission($fileUploadField:[FileUploadInput]) {
    save_contactForm_Submission(fileUploadField: $fileUploadField) {
        title
    }
}

// Query Variables
{
    "fileUploadField": [
        {
            "fileData": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAQUA...",
            "filename": "testing.png"
        },
        {
            "fileData": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAQUA..."
        }
    ]
}

If you have already uploaded your asset through other means, you can provide an assetId in the same fashion.

// Query
mutation saveSubmission($fileUploadField:[FileUploadInput]) {
    save_contactForm_Submission(fileUploadField: $fileUploadField) {
        title
    }
}

// Query Variables
{
    "fileUploadField": [
        {
            "assetId": 1234
        },
        {
            "assetId": 4562
        }
    ]
}

Group Field#

// Query
mutation saveSubmission($groupField:contactForm_groupField_FormieGroupInput) {
    save_contactForm_Submission(groupField: $groupField) {
        groupField {
            firstValue: firstValue
            secondValue: secondValue
        }
    }
}

// Query Variables
{
    "groupField": {
        "firstValue": "This content",
        "secondValue": "is for groups"
    }
}

Repeater Field#

// Query
mutation saveSubmission($repeaterField:contactForm_repeaterField_FormieRepeaterInput) {
    save_contactForm_Submission(repeaterField: $repeaterField) {
        repeaterField {
            rows {
                field1: field1
                field2: field2
            }
        }
    }
}

// Query Variables
{
    "repeaterField": {
        "rows": [
            {
                "field1": "First Block - Field 1",
                "field2": "First Block - Field 2"
            },
            {
                "field1": "Second Block - Field 1",
                "field2": "Second Block - Field 2"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Deleting a submission#

To delete a submission use the deleteSubmission mutation, which requires the id of the submission that must be deleted. It returns a boolean value as the result to indicate whether the operation was successful.

// Query to delete a submission with ID of `1110` for a site with an ID of `2`.
mutation deleteSubmission {
    deleteSubmission(id:1110 siteId:2)
}

With the resulting output:

{
    "data": {
        "deleteSubmission": true
    }
}

Validation#

If a mutation triggers a validation error, you'll get a response back, similar to the below. Here, the example shows the user didn't provide an email address, for the emailAddress field, despite it being required. The message will always be a JSON-encoded response of errors.

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "message": "{\"emailAddress\":[\"Email Address cannot be blank.\"]}",
            "extensions": {
                "category": "graphql"
            }
        }
    ],
    "data": {
        "save_contactForm_Submission": null
    }
}

Captchas#

You'll likely want to implement some form of captcha on the front-end for your headless forms. We would recommend either reCAPTCHA (opens new window) or hCaptcha (opens new window), as other captchas require a bit more work. Refer to our Headless Demo (opens new window) for more information on the specifics of this, primarily to deal with CORS, and cross-site cookies.

You can add the following to your GQL form query to fetch tokens generated server-side.

{
    formieForm (handle: "contactForm") {
        ...

        captchas {
            handle
            name
            value
        }
    }
}

Here, you'll need 3 vital bits of information, which is the handle of the Captcha integration, the name of the session variable used to compare the tokens between client and server, and the value of the token.

To authenticate your enabled Captchas correctly, you'll need to include these in your mutation, sent to the server.

// Query
mutation saveSubmission($yourName:contactForm_yourName_FormieNameInput $javascriptCaptcha: FormieCaptchaInput) {
    save_contactForm_Submission(yourName: $yourName, javascriptCaptcha: $javascriptCaptcha) {
        title
    }
}

// Query Variables
{
    "yourName": {
        "firstName": "Peter",
        "lastName": "Sherman"
    },
    "javascriptCaptcha": {
        "name": "__JSCHK_8403842",
        "value": "1234"
    }
}

Here, we've included an additional parameter that includes the handle, name and value of the captcha in our mutation.

For an example with reCAPTCHA, refer to our Headless Demo docs (opens new window).
