Rest API Forms

In this video on REST API forms for dotCMS, we learn to create frontend forms that submit data directly using REST APIs, bypassing traditional backend forms. We explore a movie review content type with various field types. A basic REST API form is built and loaded using a VTL file and widget. Advanced JavaScript is added for autocomplete, previews, and relationships. The form is submitted for Gattaca and Galaxy Quest, with a focus on validation, UX, and submission behavior. The process is detailed from form creation to submission, enhancing functionality progressively. Relevant REST API documentation is also covered.
