Form.io is a revolutionary combined Form and API platform for Serverless applications. This repository serves as the core Form and API engine for https://form.io. This system allows you to build "serverless" data management applications using a simple drag-and-drop form builder interface. These forms can then easily be embedded within your Angular.js and React applications using the <formio> HTML element.

For a walkthrough tutorial on how to use this Open Source platform to build a Serverless application, watch the video 0 to M.E.A.N in 30 minutes

Here is a link to a demo of the Form Building and Form Rendering capability that can be hooked into this API platform.

You can then download this repository, navigate to the folder in your Terminal, and then type the following.

npm install

The installation process will also ask if you would like to download an application. If selected, the application can be found at the following URL.

You can also see the contents of the application (for modification) within the app folder which exists inside of the folder where you downloaded this repository.
