Adding Form Fields

This guide will demonstrate how to add new form fields.

Before you begin #

You should get your API key from your UniCloud account.

If this is your first time using UniOffice SDK, follow this guide to set up a local development environment.

Clone the project repository #

In your terminal, clone the examples repository. It contains the Go code we will be using for this guide.

git clone https://github.com/unidoc/unioffice-examples

Navigate to the path document/form-fields folder in the unioffice-examples directory.

cd unioffice-examples/document/form-fields

How it works #

Lines 4-10 import the UniOffice packages and other required dependencies.

The init function in lines 12-19 authenticates your request with your UNIDOC_LICENSE_API_KEY.

The main function creates a new document and a paragraph within it, where a new checkbox is added and its properties are assigned in lines 27-31. Next, a new paragraph is created, adding a text input with its respective characteristics in lines 35-37. Finally, the same process is carried out to add a dropdown list in lines 41-44.

Finally, all Form Fields are collected, displayed on the screen, and the new document is saved.

Run the code #

Run this command to create a document with the form fields:

go run main.go

Sample output #

- Name: checkbox1 Type: FormFieldTypeCheckBox Value: true
- Name: textInput1 Type: FormFieldTypeText Value: Hello World
- Name: Solar system Type: FormFieldTypeDropDown Value: Earth
