# Solid quickstart

Add a working contact form to a Solid app. You write the form, and Formerie checks it, stores it, and emails you.

## Install

npm:

```sh
npm install @formerie/solid
```

pnpm:

```sh
pnpm add @formerie/solid
```

Yarn:

```sh
yarn add @formerie/solid
```

Bun:

```sh
bun add @formerie/solid
```

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

## Add the form

Save this as `ContactForm.tsx`.

```tsx
import { Show } from "solid-js";
import { createFormerieSubmit } from "@formerie/solid";

export function ContactForm() {
  const contact = createFormerieSubmit({ workspace: "acme", form: "contact" });
  const failure = () => {
    const result = contact.result();
    return result?.ok === false ? result.error.message : null;
  };

  function onSubmit(event: SubmitEvent & { currentTarget: HTMLFormElement }) {
    event.preventDefault();
    contact.submit({ fields: Object.fromEntries(new FormData(event.currentTarget)) });
  }

  return (
    <form onSubmit={onSubmit}>
      <input name="name" placeholder="Name" required />
      <input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" required />
      <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" required />
      <button disabled={contact.isSubmitting()}>Send</button>
      <Show when={contact.result()?.ok === true}><p>Thanks!</p></Show>
      <Show when={failure()}><p>{failure()}</p></Show>
    </form>
  );
}
```

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:3000`, 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.

### SolidStart

The same component works in a SolidStart page. In server functions and API routes, use `@formerie/client`. See
[From your server](/guides/framework-entry-points/#from-your-server).
