Contact forms for Vite

Add a contact form to your Vite app (React or Vue) with no backend. It is a component that posts to Formpaste, with the endpoint kept in a Vite env var. Preview it live, copy the code, and submissions land in your inbox - spam filtered.

How to create a Vite form

1
Create a form in your Formpaste dashboard and copy its access key.
2
Copy the component above and add VITE_FORMPASTE_ENDPOINT to your .env.
3
Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE with your access key, then build and deploy.

Add a Formpaste contact form to my Vite app. Use a component that reads the endpoint from import.meta.env.VITE_FORMPASTE_ENDPOINT and POSTs as application/x-www-form-urlencoded (URLSearchParams) with a hidden access_key input. No server, no API route.

Or connect the Formpaste MCP server to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, or any mcp-remote client. See the setup guide.

Keep the endpoint in an env var

Vite exposes environment variables prefixed with VITE_ to the client, so store the endpoint as VITE_FORMPASTE_ENDPOINT and read it with import.meta.env.VITE_FORMPASTE_ENDPOINT. That keeps the URL out of your components and easy to change between environments.

React or Vue, same idea

Vite scaffolds a React or a Vue app. Either way the form is a component with a submit handler that fetches the endpoint - use the matching code from the toggle above. There is no dev-server proxy or backend route to set up.

Static output, deploy anywhere

vite build produces static assets that post to an external endpoint, so the app deploys to any static host with the form working out of the box.

How it works

Three simple steps for form submissions to land in your email inbox.
Create your form, set your form's action URL to Formpaste's endpoint, and add your access key.

1

Create your form

Sign up, verify your email, and create an access key in your dashboard.

2

Copy the code

Paste the snippet above into your project. Pick CSS or Tailwind to match your site.

export function ContactForm() {
  async function onSubmit(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    const form = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
    await fetch("https://api.formpaste.com/submit", { method: "POST", body: new URLSearchParams(form) });
  }

  return (
    <form onSubmit={onSubmit} className="mx-auto flex w-full max-w-md flex-col gap-4 rounded-xl border border-gray-200 bg-white p-6 shadow-sm dark:border-gray-800 dark:bg-gray-950">
      <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE" />
      <label className="flex flex-col gap-1.5 text-sm font-medium text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100">Name
    <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your name" required className="rounded-md border border-gray-300 bg-white px-3 py-2 text-sm text-gray-900 shadow-sm outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-gray-900 dark:border-gray-700 dark:bg-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100 dark:focus-visible:ring-gray-100" />

      <label className="flex flex-col gap-1.5 text-sm font-medium text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100">Message
    <textarea name="message" required className="min-h-28 rounded-md border border-gray-300 bg-white px-3 py-2 text-sm text-gray-900 shadow-sm outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-gray-900 dark:border-gray-700 dark:bg-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100 dark:focus-visible:ring-gray-100"></textarea>
