Hello, I'm quite new to October and would like to have a frontend form with dynamic fields appearing/disapearing based on selections.

In backend, I've done it easily with Builder, but in frontend, I don't know how to start.

In backend YAML, it's quite easy with :

fields:
    categ:
        label: 'Category'
        type: radio
    type:
        label: 'Event Type'
        type: balloon-selector
        dependsOn: categ

Thanks to put me on the way to do it in frontend

I don't think there is an equivalent for front-end, you'd have to create/find a javascript library that would help you do that.

Do you have some clues or links, and how to include it in frontend, I'm new to that ?

Should it be used in a form or in a normal page ?

The beauty of the frontend is that you can use any Javascript library you want. Perhaps you can look at some jQuery tutorials for doing dynamic forms, as a suggestion.

There's also a lot of form building plugins in the Marketplace that might make it easy to deploy a form to the frontend, for example:

• https://octobercms.com/plugin/luketowers-easyforms
• https://octobercms.com/plugin/renatio-formbuilder
• https://octobercms.com/plugin/abwebdevelopers-forms

Thanks for your answer, I'm trying to create a component with dynamic fields selection for querying a database.

I will search for JQuery integration...
