<div id="myForm">

        <input data-smark='{"name":"name"}' placeholder='Full name' type="text">

    <p>
        <button data-smark='{"action":"addItem","context":"phones"}' title='Add Phone'>➕ </button>
        <label data-smark>Phones:</label>
        <ul data-smark='{"name": "phones", "of": "input", "sortable":true, "max_items":5, "exportEmpties": true}'>
            <li>
                <label data-smark>📞 </label>
                <input placeholder='+34...' type="tel" data-smark>
                <button data-smark='{"action":"removeItem"}' title='Remove Phone'>❌</button>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </p>
    <button data-smark='{"action":"export"}'>⬇️  Export</button>
</div>


button:disabled {
    opacity: .5;
}


const myForm = new SmarkForm(document.getElementById("myForm"));
myForm.on("AfterAction_export", ({data})=>{
    window.alert(JSON.stringify(data, null, 4));
});

👉 This is a simple form to show the power of SmarkForm.

👉 Tinker with it modifying data, adding or removing items from the Phones list, sorting its items by dragging them and then clicking the Export button to see resulting data.

👉 Notice it inforces some default behaviours like a convenient minimum of one item or not exporting empty items for lists. But it can be easily changed, with properties like min_items and exportEmpties.

👉 Check the JS tab to see the little JS just to initialize it as a SmarkForm and show you the data when exported.
