Contact form for Vue without a backend

A Vue single-file component can render an ordinary HTML form and let the browser handle delivery.

Where this goes

Save as Contact.vue and import it in your page component.

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

<template>
<form 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>
</template>

The detail that matters

Leave off @submit.prevent for the native version; preventing the default requires your own fetch handler.

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 Vue 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.
