Workspace

What is the Form­cen­tric Theme Custo­mi­s­a­ti­on Workspace?

The Formcentric Theme Customisation Workspace is an innovative development environment that offers developers new options for creating individual form designs. The platform was developed to give developers the most efficient and flexible tools for tackling Formcentric theme customisation work. Hosted on GitHub as an open source project, the workspace is available to the entire developer community.

What are the plat­form be­ne­fits?

All-round design flexibility
By creating form designs that are a perfect match for the visual identity of their existing projects, developers can now ensure seamless integration of these forms into the overall look-and-feel of an application or website. From company colours to special fonts and individual layout requirements, everything can be adjusted down to the last detail.

Accelerated development out of the box
The platform provides a fully preconfigured development environment with all of the necessary tools and frameworks. This avoids time-consuming setup work and ensures developers can focus instead on their actual coding project. The base themes provided offer a good starting-point for individual customisation.

An active knowledge-sharing community
GitHub hosting offers developers plenty of benefits:

1. Immediate access to best practices and sample code
2. Opportunity to cooperate with other developers
3. Quick and easy sharing of own theme development work
4. Rapid feedback and support for enquiries

What does the de­ve­lop­ment pro­cess look like?

1. Set up the development environment
To get started, simply clone or fork the GitHub repository. The environment has been designed to be ready to go without needing complex configuration beforehand.

2. Theme selection and basics
Developers can pick a theme from a library of official Formcentric themes. This can be used as a starting-point for customisation or kept as a reference for the developer’s own theme.

3. Changing and developing a design
The platform offers many options for adapting a theme:

1. Modifying CSS styles and layout structures
2. Integrating company fonts and media assets
3. Editing template structures
4. Implementing custom design systems

4. Integrated testing
The workspace comes with an integrated dev server that enables live previews. Theme changes are immediately visible – which significantly accelerates the development process.

5. Form integration
The platform supports the development of themes for different types of forms:

1. Direct integration of forms from any environment supported by Formcentric
2. Configuration options via the web app interface
3. Work the way you want to with a local headless backend or cloud solution

6. Deployment
Customised themes can be easily integrated into your projects with GitHub actions. Once properly configured, the Formcentric client can then use these in your own forms.

Summary
The Formcentric Theme Customisation Workspace gives you an effective set of tools for adapting existing themes to match your specific needs. Using tried-and-tested base themes cuts down on development time and ensures you benefit from a solid starting-point.
