React-jsonschema-form: Q: Backend suggestion for saving UI schema and with fields/data?

[rrjanbiah]

Are there any recommended approaches to:

1. Save form UI schema in backend
2. Save form with data in backend

(Preferably in NoSQL and Postgres)

IOW, are there any libraries or something that act as helper for the purpose?

(One approach is that we may push form with data to Elasticsearch and display it using https://github.com/searchkit/searchkit)

Few libs noted:

1. https://github.com/better/jsonschema2db
2. https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/query/jsonSchema/

Edit: Noted few libs, but don't look perfect. Still better to get insights from the horse's mouth. TIA

Maybe Kinto? http://docs.kinto-storage.org/en/stable/ @glasserc

@epicfaace Thank you. Checking Kinto now!

I know @almet made a thing called Fourmilieres for more-or-less this purpose but I think it's gone now. (The original blog post was at https://blog.notmyidea.org/comment-est-ce-que-vous-generez-vos-formulaires.html.) kinto-admin may serve as an inspiration for this kind of thing -- it uses the schema to generate forms and lets you create and update records -- although that project is more about administering data and less about recording form inputs.

@glasserc Thank you so much for your valuable input.

BTW, Fourmilieres is now available at https://github.com/Kinto/formbuilder with a demo at https://kinto.github.io/formbuilder/

I also work on a system called CFF that uses react-jsonschema-form on the frontend, but saves form configuration / responses in MongoDB.
