Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data collection and form generation, and in particular to a method and system for automatically generating a dynamic form. Background Art

[0002] Data collection is a common and important task in government affairs and data management. Traditional data collection methods usually rely on manually created static forms, which have the following challenges and limitations:

[0003] 1. High development cost: Traditional form design requires developers to manually write HTML and JavaScript code, which is a time-consuming and error-prone process.

[0004] 2. Poor flexibility: Once a form is created, modifying it usually requires recoding, which limits the form's ability to adapt to different data collection needs.

[0005] 3. Inefficiency: When the structure of the data to be collected changes, updating the form often requires a complex development and testing process, resulting in inefficient data collection.

[0006] 4. High technical threshold: It is difficult for non-technical personnel to participate in the design and modification process of the form, which may result in the form not accurately reflecting the actual data collection needs.

[0007] 5. Data consistency issues: Manually created forms may not be consistent with the actual data structure, increasing the workload of data cleaning and organization. Summary of the invention

[0020] In step S4, the automatically generated form preview is displayed on the user interface, and the user interface is provided to allow the order of form components to be adjusted, component properties to be modified, and component types to be changed.

[0021] In step S5, the form configuration confirmed by the user is converted into JSON format, the configuration includes the type, label, and validation rules of each component, and the JSON configuration is saved in the background database.

[0022] In step S6, the front-end application obtains the saved form configuration from the background; generates a form according to the configuration using dynamic component rendering technology; applies the validation rules and other properties saved in the configuration; provides a data submission function, and sends the filled data back to the server.
