Contact form for Angular without a backend

Use a native form in an Angular component template when you only need delivery and browser validation.

Where this goes

Put the markup into contact.component.html. The ngNoForm attribute keeps this form native.

Create a form in the dashboard and replace YOUR_FORM_ID with your endpoint ID. No account key belongs in this code.

<form ngNoForm action="https://formdrop.wouldairecommend.workers.dev/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input id="email" type="email" name="email" required>
  <label for="message">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>
  <input name="_gotcha" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" hidden>
  <button type="submit">Send message</button>
</form>

The detail that matters

Do not use ngSubmit for this native example; let the browser submit to the external action.

After you publish

Send a test from the published page, then check Inbox and Spam. Native forms follow a redirect; fetch clients must request JSON and show errors. Set your allowed domains to the hostnames you actually publish, including any preview hostname you need.

Read the endpoint reference for reserved fields, CORS and redirect rules. Start from the accessible contact template if you need styling.

Questions about this setup

Does Angular need its own backend?
No. The browser posts the named form fields to your FormDrop endpoint. Your site can stay static.
Will this send an email notification?
Email notifications are not switched on yet. Read submissions in the dashboard or connect Slack, Discord, Telegram or a webhook.
Can I attach a file?
File uploads: not yet. Text fields are saved; files are ignored and flagged in the dashboard. Link to an existing public document instead.
