Dynamic Form Builder and Runtime Platform
Project Summary
This project is a two-part web application designed to revolutionize form creation and deployment for enterprise use. It provides a drag-and-drop interface for building dynamic forms with tabs, sections, and dropdowns, while it's runtime renders these forms and integrates them with business-specific features like listing pages, filters, and export options. Built with Angular for a responsive SPA, Node.js for backend processing, and AWS for scalable hosting, the platform ensures fast loading, seamless integration, and a consistent user experience across both components.
Challenges
- Slow loading and usability issues with complex, multi-element forms.
- Delays and screen lag impacting user experience for large forms.
- Ensuring seamless integration and consistent design between Studio and Runtime.
Solutions
- Optimized form loading with Angular’s lazy loading and component-based rendering to reduce delays and enhance performance.
- Minimized background processing and leveraged Angular’s change detection optimization to improve responsiveness.
- Developed a standardized JSON-based data format for form configurations, ensuring compatibility and uniformity across both applications.
