Hosted Forms
Your form is also available on your Shopify site out of the box. To view your hosted form, click on the export icon under the Form URL.
If the customer is logged in, the payload submitted by the form will also include customer_id.
Styling your form
When setting up a form, MESA gives you the option to add class names to the form fields.
This HTML snippet adds a border around the form and ensures that the input fields and buttons have a border outline.
<style>
#mesa-form {
margin-top: 25px;
padding: 1.1428571429em;
border: 1px solid #D9D9D9;
border-radius: 4px;
margin-bottom: -20px;
}
#mesa-form button#submit {
border-color: #D9D9D9;
}
</style>JavaScript API
If you would like to build something more interactive, Form has a powerful JavaScript API:
GET {{form_url}}.json: (optional) retrieve your Form Builder configuration in a format that can be rendered with the Form Renderer JavaScript library.POST {{form_url}}.json: Post a JSON object representing your form. Example:\
curl 'https://mymesa.site/mesa-example/forms/form_shopify_order_return.json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw 'name=Bob+Biller&email=bob&message='Here is an example of a form that is built with the Form Renderer library and submitted via jQuery. To use it, simply change {{form_url}} in the <form> tag to be your MESA Form URL.
