Is there a NodeJS version of FormFlow dialog?

Any news on this issue? The user interface of selection forms in NodeJS is cumbersome at this point

We've learned a lot since doing form flow for C#. We're thinking about what makes sense for a Form Flow 2.0 that would cover both Node and C#. Can ask specifics about what you find cumbersome with collecting form input in Node? I agree that collecting form data could be easier in Node but I'm more curious about your thoughts for how it could be made simpler?

Take a look at this sample, it shows how to create a dialog that asks a series of questions and returns a JSON object with the answers. Form Flow is a lot more than that but my question is how far does that get you towards what you want?

hello stevenic, is there any update on the node js version of form flow?

Nothing planned quite as of yet. Things are changing rapidly so we're evaluating several alternatives to form flow as it currently exists.

Just published a small library that does this, check here

Are there any updates yet ? Is it even in the roadmap ? The nodejs version would really help.

Any update on form flow for Nodejs?

@dgkanatsios is there a way to display all user's entries and allow them to make changes to a single or more form entry like we have in the .NET version?

@profbiyi not sure I follow the question (it's been over a year since I wrote it), but in the sample code (https://github.com/dgkanatsios/formflowbotbuilder/blob/master/README.md) there is this:

 // responses from the user are in results variable as well as in the responses callback argument
        session.send('results: ' + JSON.stringify(responses));

I suppose you are looking for something different?

@dgkanatsios thanks for the prompt response. It's actually working fine, but not doing the C# formflow thing I am looking at.

I don't just want a display of the result, I want a case where users can confirm all their entries and even gets to change a single or more entry like in the C# Formflow.

Thanks once again
