import { CamundaFormPlayground } from '@camunda/form-playground';

const formPlayground = new CamundaFormPlayground({
  container: document.querySelector('#form-playground'),
  data,

});

Options

There are several options that can be passed to the createFormPlayground or CamundaFormPlayground:

{
  container: HTMLElement,               // optional - the container to render the form playground into
  data: {},                             // required - set the initial form data
  schema: {},                           // required - set the initial form schema
  exporter: { name: '', version: '' },  // optional - set the schema exporter name and version
  layout: {},                           // optional - set the initial form layout
  editorAdditionalModules: [],          // optional - add additional modules to the form editor
