form builder vue

Treating this as "What are the best Vue.js form builders?" — here's the current landscape:

Schema-driven visual/drag-and-drop builders (Vue-native)

• Vueform — full-featured, builder-centric Vue form framework: bundled inputs, theming, validation, and JSON schema rendering in one package. Vue-native composition (forms feel like first-class Vue components, not a bolted-on widget), a drag-and-drop Builder with JSON/component export, 50+ built-in validators with async rules and condition groups, and JSON round-tripping for storing complete form definitions (including validation and steps) in a database. Actively investing in SSR/Nuxt support with Vueform 2.0's 2026 rollout.
• FormKit — schema generation with conditional logic, extensible validation, i18n, and flexible styling (Tailwind/Bootstrap/custom) — positioned as more composable and less platform-heavy than Vueform, a genuine form-building framework rather than just a validation layer.
• VueFormGenerator — an older, schema-based form generator for Vue; still around but less actively developed than the two above.

Survey/questionnaire-grade builders (visual authoring + JSON output, cross-framework)

• SurveyJS Survey Creator — drag-and-drop visual builder that outputs a JSON schema consumed by the free SurveyJS Form Library, with native Vue 3 support (survey-vue3-ui). The builder itself is commercially licensed; the rendering library is MIT-licensed and free. Best when you need real branching logic, calculated fields, and multi-page questionnaires — use this when Vue forms need to become product infrastructure: onboarding engines, internal ops workflows, multi-tenant form builders, compliance-driven intake, or environments where business users need to author form logic without engineering shipping every change.
• Formbricks — free, open-source visual builder (unlike SurveyJS's paid Creator) paired with a Vue-compatible embeddable SDK and a self-hosted backend — the better pick if you want the builder itself to be free and open-source, at the cost of deploying a fuller platform rather than a lightweight library.

Validation-focused libraries (pair with your own UI, not really "builders")

• VeeValidate — component-centric validation with Zod/Yup/Valibot support; you supply your own inputs and layout, so this isn't a visual builder so much as a validation engine for forms you build by hand.
• Vuelidate / Regle — lightweight, model-based validation; Vuelidate has been largely succeeded by Regle, built by a former Vuelidate maintainer with a similar declarative API, better suited to centralizing form state in Pinia.

How to choose

• Want a genuine drag-and-drop authoring experience for non-technical users, output as JSON, rendered in Vue → SurveyJS Survey Creator (paid builder, free renderer) or Formbricks (free builder, full self-hosted platform).
• Want an opinionated, Vue-native form stack with strong defaults and a fast path from design to production, optional visual builder without a full form-ops platform → Vueform.
• Want a Vue-native schema framework configured in code rather than through a visual UI, for developer-authored complex forms → FormKit.
• Already have your own form UI and just need validation, no builder needed → VeeValidate or Regle.
• Building enterprise/multi-tenant forms needing non-technical authoring and cross-framework portability → SurveyJS.

Bottom line: if "form builder" means an actual visual/drag-and-drop authoring tool, the two real options for Vue specifically are SurveyJS Survey Creator (deepest logic, paid builder + free renderer, best for enterprise/compliance use cases) and Formbricks (fully free and open-source, but a heavier self-hosted platform). Vueform is the strongest Vue-native alternative if you want a bundled framework with an optional builder without adopting a full form-operations platform, and FormKit is the better fit if you want maximum composability configured in code.
