Awesome job, we're done with our contact form as far as setting up the UI and technically we can start
setting up the functionality to fetch the product.
But in this optional video, so essentially, if you don't want to, you can just skip and move on.
You're not going to miss anything.
But if you would want to see how we can actually collect the values, for example, we could collect
the emails.
I'll show you what kind of service I would suggest.
Again, I'm not proffering anything from them.
I'm not sponsored by them or nothing like that.
It is just much easier to use some kind of third service, especially if it is free.
At least there's some kind of free tier because that can go, yes, you could set up everything yourself.
Just keep in mind two things.
First, you have to have some kind of server, even if it's just a serverless function by the middle
part.
And the second thing is the fact that you'll have to deal with a lot of spam and just tell you that
from the personal experience.
So from my perspective, I'd much rather deal with some company that just does all the hard work for
me.
So, for example, if you navigate to John Smith ILGA and if you are looking at the coupon subscription,
how this is handled by the mailroom.
So I don't have to do anything.
I just needed to set up my form in a specific way.
So, of course, Melchett can handle that.
And I was in good shape.
Again, if you want to do it yourself, you can definitely do so.
But that's not something that I would suggest doing.
Again, that is just my preference.
Of course you can do it however you like, but I'm going to show you a different provider and the name
of it is going to be.
Again, I'm not sponsored by them.
I just find that set up probably the easiest to get started.
So we just type here, form service over here.
And once we navigate, we just need to look for Formspring.
That's the link that we're looking for.
So I'll open up this, a new link.
I'll sign up for new account, even though I should have the account since I have shown this in my HDMI
post as well.
So here, let me just go with not signing.
I'm going to go get started.
And I'm going to go with one of my emails.
I think it was learn code.
Or yell out, and then it was Gmail dot com as far as the password.
It's not going to be something really secret and I'm just going to register, hopefully I and use this
email before and it doesn't look like I have or my apologies to.
I've used it quite a few times.
So in this case, I guess we're going to go with a new form.
And emails, we would be sending emails to learn code Turrill, Gmail dot com, and I'm just going to
call this a react store online form.
So we'll create a form and essentially we'll just have to get these values that we need to add to our
form scenarist here.
We have form online when it comes to action.
We have the URL and we need the method of post.
And then, of course, once I'm submitting.
Then, of course, I would want to get those values correct, so that's why when we were setting up
this input, we would need to set up the name over here.
So let's do it.
We're going to go with action.
So create the account.
If you don't have it, create a new form, show and learn.
Just navigate back to your project.
And where you have the form, copy and paste, so now you have the action and you have the post, and
then I also want to have a name.
So that is a very, very important.
So where I have the email I'm going to go with reply to now, it's really cool is that you can actually
test it out.
And by the way, I'm sorry this name should be here where I have the input and you can have it whatever
you want.
But in my case, I'll just leave this on the school and then reply to and what I was saying before is
the fact that you can test it out in your local environment as well.
So if I'm going to go with testing and testing dot com, you'll see that I'll be able to submit the
form and notice how we submitted the form successfully.
And now, of course, we can't go back.
And if you navigate your mail now, here I have a new submission.
Beautiful.
And it tells me that, of course, the mail is testing, testing dotcom.
And as a side note, yes, there's more setups that you can have, meaning there's more ways how you
can submit the data, whether that is name, email or whatever.
But we all just stick with the basic one.
OK, so we'll just go with our set up the way it is.
And if you're interested in researching this in greater detail, of course, please do.
So, like I said, they have generous three-tier because there's bad options as well.
But as far as setting up of the form submissions and maybe collecting some kind of values, I definitely
would suggest using some kind of service because in my personal experience, it just made way more sense
in the long run.
Can you set up the form submissions yourself?
Yes, but it is definitely way more work.
And can you use different companies?
Of course, if you find a better company that suits your needs better, of course.
Definitely do.
So, in my opinion, when starting out, Formspring is a pretty nifty option.
