Creating a Client

Creating a Form

In order to create a form, you need to create an instance of CamSDK.Form:

new CamSDK.Form({
  // ...
});

In case the form is a task form (i.e., the submission of the form should trigger the completing of a task), you need to provide a taskId:

new CamSDK.Form({
  client: camClient,
  // the process definition ID
  processDefinitionId: 'someProcessDefinitionId',
});

The Forms SDK can automatically load forms from a URL.The URL from which the form should be loaded is referenced using the formElement property.

In that case you need to create a container element somewhere in the DOM:

new CamSDK.Form({
  client: camClient,
  // URL to the form
  formUrl: '/url/to/form.html',
  // the task ID
  taskId: 'someTaskId',
  // the container to which the form should be appended. Can be a DOM element or a jQuery wrapper
  containerElement: $('#formContainer'),
  done: function(error, camFormInstance) {
});

It is also possible to initialize the Form SDK for a form already existing in the DOM.

Assuming that you have an HTML <form …> element present in the DOM:

new CamSDK.Form({
  client: camClient,
  // the task ID
  taskId: 'someTaskId',
  // the form element. Can be a DOM element or a jQuery wrapper
  formElement: $('#myForm'),
  done: function(error, camFormInstance) {
    // ..
  }
