directory-forms-api-client

Directory forms API client for headless forms.

---

Requirements

Installation

pip install directory_forms_api_client

Usage

The api client must be passed into each form instance, so first set the the client settings:

Setting	Notes
DIRECTORY_FORMS_API_BASE_URL
DIRECTORY_FORMS_API_API_KEY	Unique to client. Retrieved during the on-boarding process.
DIRECTORY_FORMS_API_SENDER_ID	Unique to client. Retrieved during the on-boarding process.
DIRECTORY_FORMS_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT

Once that is done the forms can be used.

Submit to Zendesk

from directory_forms_api_client import forms


class ZendeskForm(forms.ZendeskAPIForm):
    # note that the base form provides `requester_email` email field
    title = fields.CharField()


form = ZendeskForm(data={
    'name': 'Example Person',
    'email': '[e-mail]'
})
assert form.is_valid()
form.save(
    email_address=form.cleaned_data['email'],
    full_name='Example Person',
    subject='Bo in the house',
    service_name='Foo Bar',
)

Different subdomain

The default behaviour of Forms API is to use the default configured zendesk subdomain when creating the tickets. To use a different subdomain, provide subdomain:

form.save(
    email_address=form.cleaned_data['email'],
    full_name='Example Person',
    subject='Some ticket subject',
    subdomain='some-other-subdomain',
)

Note that Forms API must first be configured to expect the provided subdomain.

Send as email

Send to a user-submitted email address

from directory_forms_api_client import forms

class EmailForm(forms.ZendeskAPIForm):
    title = fields.CharField()
    email = fields.EmailField()

form = TestForm(data={'title': 'Example', 'email': '[e-mail]'})

assert form.is_valid()
form.save(
    recipients=[form.cleaned_data['email']],
    subject='Some email subject',
    reply_to=['[e-mail]'],
    service_name='Foo Bar',
)

Send to a pre-defined email address

from directory_forms_api_client import forms

class EmailForm(forms.EmailAPIForm):
    title = fields.CharField()

form = TestForm(data={'title': 'Example'})

assert form.is_valid()
form.save(submission_recipients=[settings.FEEDBACK_EMAIL_RECIPIENTS])

Send via gov.uk Notify

from directory_forms_api_client import forms

class GovNotifyForm(forms.GovNotifyAPIForm):
    title = fields.CharField()
    email = fields.EmailField()

form = TestForm(data={'title': 'Example', 'email': '[e-mail]'})

assert form.is_valid()
form.save(
    template_id='some-template-id-from-gov-notify',
    email_address=form.cleaned_data['email'],
)
