Vue survey form
Build a survey form in Vue with no backend. Use dropdowns for quick answers and one open field, bound with v-model, then post to Formpaste. Copy the component and add your access key - responses land in your inbox.
How to build it
- Create a form in your Formpaste dashboard and copy its access key.
- Copy the Vue component above and pick your styling.
- Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE with your access key, then deploy.

Add a Formpaste survey form to my Vue 3 app. Use a single-file component with a couple of select dropdowns and a textarea, bound with v-model, that POSTs as application/x-www-form-urlencoded (URLSearchParams) to https://api.formpaste.com/submit with a hidden access_key input. No backend.Or connect the Formpaste MCP server to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, or any mcp-remote client. See the setup guide.
Vue gotchas
A Vue contact form is a single-file component with v-model bindings and an @submit.prevent handler that POSTs to Formpaste. There is no backend and no API of your own. Put the fetch in the component and you are done.
It is a normal component
The form lives in a .vue single-file component with a <script setup> block. Bind the fields with v-model or read a FormData off the form element on submit, then post to the Formpaste endpoint. No store or plugin is required for a simple form.
No API of your own
You do not proxy through your own server. The component posts straight to the Formpaste endpoint, which removes a mailer and a submissions store you would otherwise build.
Handle the response in a ref
The endpoint returns JSON (success, message, id). Await the fetch and set a status ref to show your own success or error state, or set a redirect URL in the dashboard and skip the client handling.
Composition or Options API, both work
The examples use <script setup> and the Composition API, but the same fetch works in an Options API component. Formpaste only cares about the POST, not how you structure the component.
What to get right
Keep it short to keep completion high
Every extra question loses responses. A couple of dropdowns and one open comment field usually gathers what you need without fatigue.
Dropdowns beat free text for analysis
Fixed choices (select fields) are easy to count later. Reserve the textarea for the one open-ended question that genuinely needs it.
Make email optional for honest answers
Anonymous responses are often more candid. Ask for email only if you need to follow up, and mark it optional.
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.

Sign up, verify your email, and create an access key in your dashboard.
Copy the code
Paste the snippet above into your project. Pick CSS or Tailwind to match your site.
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from "vue";
const status = ref<"idle" | "sending" | "ok" | "error">("idle");
async function onSubmit(e: Event) {
status.value = "sending";
const form = new FormData(e.target as HTMLFormElement);
const res = await fetch("https://api.formpaste.com/submit", { method: "POST", body: new URLSearchParams(form as any) });
status.value = res.ok ? "ok" : "error";
}
</script>
