Contact Page Integration Module

This module provides a seamless way to integrate and manage contact forms on your website. It allows developers to easily embed contact forms and route messages to designated administrators.

Overview

The Contact Page Integration module consists of:

1. API Endpoint: A FastAPI endpoint to handle incoming contact form submissions.
2. React UI Component: A reusable React component for rendering the contact form.
3. Data Schema: Pydantic model defining the structure of contact form data.

API Reference

Contact Form Data Schema (Pydantic)

The following schema defines the structure of contact form data:

from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr

class ContactForm(BaseModel):
    name: str
    email: EmailStr
    subject: str
    message: str
    metadata: dict | None = None
    
    # Validations
    class Config:
        arbitrary_types_allowed = True
        extra = "ignore"

API Endpoint (FastAPI)

Example FastAPI endpoint to handle contact form submissions:

from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
from typing import Optional
from pydantic import BaseModel

app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/api/contact")
async def contact_form(data: ContactForm) -> dict:
    """
    Handles contact form submissions.
    
    Args:
        data (ContactForm): Form data containing name, email, subject, and message.
        
    Returns:
        dict: Success response with submitted data.
    """
    try:
        # Process the contact form data here
        # (e.g., send to admin, log, etc.)
        
        return {
            "status": "success",
            "data": data.dict()
        }
    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))

React UI Component

Example React component for rendering the contact form:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

const ContactForm = () => {
    const [formData, setFormData] = useState({
        name: '',
        email: '',
        subject: '',
        message: ''
    });
    const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);
    const [error, setError] = useState('');

    const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        setIsLoading(true);
        setError('');
        
        try {
            const response = await fetch('/api/contact', {
                method: 'POST',
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
                },
                body: JSON.stringify(formData)
            });

            if (!response.ok) {
                throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
            }

            const data = await response.json();
            alert('Message sent successfully!');
        } catch (err) {
            setError(err.message || 'Failed to send message');
        } finally {
            setIsLoading(false);
        }
    };

    return (
        <div className="contact-form">
            <h2>Contact Us</h2>

                        onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, subject: e.target.value})}
                    />

                    <label htmlFor="message">Message:</label>
                    <textarea
                        id="message"
                        required
                        rows="4"
                        value={formData.message}
                        onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, message: e.target.value})}

                </div>
            )}
        </div>
    );
};

export default ContactForm;

Usage

1. Install Dependencies:

   • For FastAPI: pip install fastapi uvicorn
   • For React: Install required packages (e.g., Axios, etc.) as needed.

2. Run the API:

   uvicorn main:app --reload
   

3. Integrate React Component: Import and use the ContactForm component in your React application.

4. Configure Backend:

   • Modify the /api/contact endpoint to handle actual message routing (e.g., send email, log data, etc.)
   • Add error handling and appropriate responses as needed.

Notes

• The Pydantic model ensures that all contact form fields are validated before processing.
• The React component includes basic form validation and loading states.
• Customize the UI styling in the ContactForm component to match your design requirements.
