The Problem
Building form backends in Next.js requires API routes, database setup, and error handling. This adds complexity to your project.
The Solution
Use Formboost as your form backend. Submit directly from your Next.js components, or create a simple proxy route if needed.
Setup in 5 Steps
Create a Formboost form endpoint
Add the endpoint ID to your Next.js .env.local
Create a form component that POSTs to the endpoint
Handle success/error states in your component
Deploy to Vercel or your hosting provider
Code Example
// app/components/ContactForm.tsx
'use client';
import { useState } from 'react';
export function ContactForm() {
const [status, setStatus] = useState('idle');
const handleSubmit = async (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
e.preventDefault();
setStatus('loading');
const formData = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
const response = await fetch('https://formboost.app/f/YOUR_ENDPOINT_ID', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
setStatus(response.ok ? 'success' : 'error');
};
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" required />
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" required />
<button type="submit" disabled={status === 'loading'}>
{status === 'loading' ? 'Sending...' : 'Send'}
</button>
{status === 'success' && <p>Thanks for your message!</p>}
</form>
);
