Sure, I can provide you with a detailed example to implement a contact form on your website that collects information and stores it in a Markdown file on the server. We'll use HTML for the form, JavaScript for form submission, and Node.js with Express for the server-side processing. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Set Up Your Project:
Create a directory for your project, and inside it, initialize a Node.js project with npm init.
2. Install Dependencies:
Install the required Node.js packages:
bashnpm install express body-parser fs-extra
3. Create Your Project Structure:
Here's a simple project structure to organize your files:
arduino- your_project/
- server.js
- public/
- index.html
- contact-submissions/
4. Create server.js:
Create a server using Node.js and Express. This server will handle form submissions and save them to Markdown files. Here's the server.js file:
javascriptconst express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const fs = require('fs-extra');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.post('/submit-contact-form', (req, res) => {
const { name, email, message } = req.body;
const markdownContent = `---
title: Contact Form Submission
name: ${name}
email: ${email}
---
**Name:** ${name}
**Email:** ${email}
**Message:**
${message}
`;
const filename = `${Date.now()}-contact.md`;
const filePath = path.join(__dirname, 'contact-submissions', filename);
fs.outputFile(filePath, markdownContent, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error('Error saving contact form submission:', err);
res.status(500).json({ error: 'Server error' });
} else {
console.log('Contact form submission saved:', filePath);
res.json({ message: 'Form submitted successfully' });
}
});
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server is running on port ${port}`);
});
5. Create an HTML Form:
In your index.html file (inside the public folder), add an HTML form to collect information:
html<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Contact Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Contact Us</h1>
<form id="contact-form" action="/submit-contact-form" method="POST">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="message">Message:</label>
<textarea id="message" name="message" rows="5" required></textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
6. Client-Side JavaScript:
Add JavaScript to handle form submission on the client side:
javascriptdocument.getElementById('contact-form').addEventListener('submit', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
const name = document.getElementById('name').value;
const email = document.getElementById('email').value;
const message = document.getElementById('message').value;
const formData = { name, email, message };
fetch('/submit-contact-form', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify(formData),
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
console.log('Form submitted:', data.message);
// Handle success or display a thank you message
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error:', error);
// Handle error
});
});
7. Start Your Server:
In your project directory, run the server using:
bashnode server.js
8. Test Your Contact Form:
Open your website in a web browser, fill out the contact form, and submit it. The server will save the form submission as a Markdown file in the contact-submissions directory.
This example provides a basic structure to handle form submissions and store them as Markdown files. You can further customize and expand it to suit your specific requirements and integrate it into your Jekyll website.
