FormML – A DSL for building complex web forms
Hi everyone! I wrote a DSL (named Form Modeling Language) for modeling & building complex forms and am glad to share it with you now. Over the years, I’ve encountered many challenges while building complex forms from scratch—challenges that I believe are common, difficult, and yet often overlooked. These include managing interdependent fields, handling intricate validation rules, and maintain good collaboration between technical and non-technical people. FormML is my attempt to address these pain points. The project's README goes into more detail, but in short, FormML offers a model-first…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi everyone! I wrote a DSL (named Form Modeling Language) for modeling & building complex forms and am glad to share it with you now. Over the years, I’ve encountered many challenges while building complex forms from scratch—challenges that I believe are common, difficult, and yet often overlooked. These include managing interdependent fields, handling intricate validation rules, and maintain good collaboration between technical and non-technical people. FormML is my attempt to address these pain points. The project's README goes into more detail, but in short, FormML offers a model-first approach to form development (inspired by Prisma), focusing on ease of use for both developers and non-developers. Lastly, there is a design question I’d love your input: FormML has a primitive type called decimal, used for high-precision decimal numbers. Since one of FormML's design principles is to be as readable as possible to non-programmers, I’m considering renaming it to currency. However, currency might feel too narrow and not cover all applications. What do you think? - Stick with decimal? - Switch to currency? - Support both via aliases? Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!
