frappe-web-form-builder_skill

Overview

This skill generates Frappe Web Forms for public-facing data collection, including registration pages, surveys, and file-upload flows. It produces JSON definitions that map to Frappe DocTypes, supports multi-step forms, validation rules, conditional fields, and post-submit behavior. Use it to create portal-friendly forms that do not require user login and integrate directly with your Frappe app.

How this skill works

The skill outputs Web Form JSON conforming to Frappe's Web Form DocType structure: metadata (name, route, doc_type), UI options (title, introduction, success message/url), and a web_form_fields array describing each field. It can mark forms as multi-step, set required fields, define selects and dependencies, and include file attachment fields. Generated JSON is ready to be imported or used with Frappe APIs to create public web forms tied to your DocTypes.

When to use it

• Create customer-facing registration or signup pages without requiring login
• Build public surveys, feedback forms, or data collection pages
• Implement multi-step applications such as job applications or registrations
• Collect documents, attachments, or uploads from external users
• Expose specific DocType creation through a simple public route

Best practices

• Map form fields to an existing DocType to leverage Frappe validation and workflows
• Use conditional fields (depends_on) to show relevant fields and reduce user friction
• Set success_url and a clear success_message to guide users after submission
• Require only essential fields to maximize completion rates and use server-side validation
• Use Attach fieldtype for uploads and enforce size/type constraints in DocType validation

Example use cases

• Customer Registration form that creates Customer records with email and phone validation
• Multi-step Job Application with personal info, experience, and resume upload
• Event RSVP page that collects attendee details and ticket type selection
• Public survey that stores responses in a custom DocType for analytics
• Support request form that accepts screenshots via Attach and routes to support workflows
