# Astro quickstart

Most Astro sites do best with the [script embed](/guides/add-a-form/). To build the form yourself, add this working contact form to an Astro page.

## Install

npm:

```sh
npm install @formerie/client
```

pnpm:

```sh
pnpm add @formerie/client
```

Yarn:

```sh
yarn add @formerie/client
```

Bun:

```sh
bun add @formerie/client
```

Formerie packages are in alpha, so APIs can still change between releases.

## Add the form

Save this as `src/pages/contact.astro`, or add it to a page you already have.

```astro
<form id="contact">
  <input name="name" placeholder="Name" required />
  <input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" required />
  <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" required></textarea>
  <button>Send</button>
  <p id="contact-result" role="status"></p>
</form>

<script>
  import { FormerieRuntimeClient } from "@formerie/client";

  const formerie = new FormerieRuntimeClient();
  const form = document.querySelector<HTMLFormElement>("#contact")!;
  const status = document.querySelector("#contact-result")!;

  form.addEventListener("submit", async (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    const result = await formerie.submit("acme", "contact", {
      fields: Object.fromEntries(new FormData(form)),
    });
    status.textContent = result.ok ? "Thanks!" : result.error.message;
  });
</script>
```

Each input's `name` is the field it fills in Formerie.

## Set up the form in the app

1. Open [app.formerie.com](https://app.formerie.com) and create a form named **Contact**. It comes with the
   name, email, and message fields this code sends.
2. On the **Delivery** tab, add your email address, then choose **Save delivery**. Confirm the email
   Formerie sends you.
3. On the **Publish** tab, choose **API-only** and add the address your dev server prints, such as `http://localhost:4321`, under
   **Your website addresses**. `localhost` and `127.0.0.1` count as different addresses. Add your live site's address the
   same way when you deploy.
4. Choose **Publish form**.
5. In the code above, replace `acme` with the workspace handle shown on the **Publish** tab.

## Check it arrived

Run your app, fill in the form, and send it. "Thanks!" appears on the page. In the app, your response shows
under **Submissions**, and its email under **Deliveries**.

Seeing a CORS error, or `NETWORK_ERROR`? Your site's address isn't on the **Publish** tab yet, or you haven't published since adding it.
