The contact form will appear only if you have provided an api url. You can control the data sent to the server and can execute callback functions on response from the server.
To customize these functions, edit the config.js file.
The beforeContactFormSubmit function is used to validate the form data before it is sent to the server. It has one argument that contains the object
{
name: string,
email: string,
message: string
}
You can validate the data and return
{
data: {
name: data.name,
email: data.email,
message: data.message,
},
result: true,
}
if the data is valid. Otherwise return
errors = [
{
code: int, // 1-4
/* Codes
Code 1 - Name
Code 2 - Email
Code 3 - Message
Code 4 - Other
*/
message: string
}
]
return {
result: false,
errors: errors,
}
You can also handle how data is sent to the server by editing the contactFormSubmit function. It should return the below object to indicate whether the message was sent.
{
result: boolean // true for success, false for fail
}
