Bootstrap 5 Form Generator
Generate Bootstrap forms quickly with Wappler, then customize layout, labels, and validation feedback.
Form Generator
The Bootstrap 5 Form Generator scaffolds a Bootstrap form wired to a Server Connect action. It can auto-generate inputs based on the action schema.
What it generates
The generator inserts the form markup plus bindings for values, validation and submit behavior (depending on your selected action and options).
Prerequisite
You’ll get the best results when you already have a Server Connect action (for example, insert/update/select) and its input/output schema is known.
Open the generator
Open the Components picker, select the Generators category, then choose Bootstrap 5 Form Generator.
Components picker opened
The Components picker is now open (via Insert Child). This step matters because Components picker opened is part of the Structure panel, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
Components picker
Use categories to find generators quickly. This step matters because Components picker is part of Components Popup Root, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
Generators category selected
The Generators category is now selected. This step matters because Generators category selected is part of Components Popup Anchor Right, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
Form Generator selected
Bootstrap 5 Form Generator is now selected and its dialog opens. This step matters because Form Generator selected is part of Components Popup Root, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
Generator dialog
The generator opens in a popup dialog.
Server Action
Pick which Server Connect action this form should be wired to.
Server Action
Use Select to choose a Server Connect action. The generator can infer fields from the action schema. This step matters because Server Action is part of Popup Bootstrap5formgenerator Form Fieldsform Field Serveractionname Input, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
Populate
If the action returns data (for example, select a record), Populate can be used to bind default values into the form.
Form layout
Choose the Bootstrap form layout style and helper options.
Form Type
The layout preset controls whether the form is horizontal, vertical, inline, or uses floating labels.
Form Rows / Help Texts
Enable Form Rows to wrap fields in row markup. Enable Help Texts to include Bootstrap help text blocks per field.
Multi Record
Enable Multi Record when you want a repeatable form section for array-like inputs. This step matters because Multi Record is part of Popup Bootstrap5formgenerator Form Fieldsform Field Multirecord Input, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
Fields
Use the fields grid to choose and configure the inputs to generate.
Fields grid
Each row represents a form field. Use it to decide which fields to include and how to label them.
Generated bindings
The generator uses these fields to create input names, labels and data bindings. You can fine-tune them after generation in the Properties panel.
Generate
When you’re happy with the settings, generate the form.
Ok
Selecting Ok inserts the generated form into the page. This step matters because Ok is part of Popup Bootstrap5formgenerator Button Ok, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
Cancel
Selecting Cancel closes the dialog without inserting anything. This step matters because Cancel is part of Popup Bootstrap5formgenerator Button Cancel, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
