# Headless Wagtail Advanced Form Builder

![Form fields API](./docs/screenshots/headless_waf_builder_api.png)
![Form fields CMS](./docs/screenshots/headless_waf_builder_cms.png)

**A powerful headless-first Wagtail Advanced Form Builder with complete REST API for modern frontend frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, and mobile applications.**

> **🚨 Important**: This is a separate package from the original `wagtail-advanced-form-builder`. Choose `headless-wagtail-advanced-form-builder` for modern headless/API-first applications, or the original for traditional Wagtail template only usage.

## 🚀 Headless API Features

**Complete REST API with Django Ninja** - Build modern frontend applications with React, Vue, Angular, or any JavaScript framework using our comprehensive headless API.

### API Capabilities
- **📋 Form Retrieval API** - Get form schemas with complete field definitions and validation rules
- **📤 Form Submission API** - Submit forms with automatic validation and processing
- **🔒 Security Built-in** - CSRF protection, reCAPTCHA v2/v3 integration, and rate limiting
- **📧 Email Integration** - Automatic email sending with Celery background processing
- **📖 Auto-Generated Documentation** - Interactive API docs at `/docs` endpoint
- **🎯 Type-Safe Schemas** - Complete Pydantic schemas for all form fields and responses

### Quick API Example
```javascript
// Get form schema
const response = await fetch('/api/form_by_path/contact-form/');
const formSchema = await response.json();

// Submit form data
await fetch('/api/form_by_path/', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-CSRFToken': csrfToken
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    path: 'contact-form',
    form_fields: { name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' },
    recaptcha_token: recaptchaToken // optional
  })
});
```
