U.S. Forms System
The US Forms System is an open source library and set of guiding principles for building complex web-based forms using React, the JSON Schema standard, and the US Web Design System.
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
About this project
Inspired by Mozilla's react-jsonschema-form library, the US Forms System is specifically intended for consistently styled governmental web-based forms. This library enables you to describe form fields in a JSON Schema configuration file, which then renders the backing React components necessary to build your form. You'll build forms significantly faster than existing methods, and benefit from the US Web Design System's best practices in user experience and data collection, validation, and transmission.
Using the library
For information about setting up and using the US Forms System, see the US Forms System Documentation.
Additionally, the US Forms System Starter App provides the basic files and configuration needed to get started building a form using the US Forms System.
