In this article, we will let you know about generating Drupal 8 custom forms with the help of module “ContactForm”, Webform, Content Types and Fields. Here, Content-Type holds responsibility with CCK Fields, Contact Form, Webform etc to get a set of data’s such as phone number, email and website. You can see the default installation of CCK modules and Contact Form in Drupal 8. The remaining part of the download is the user's responsibility. Yes! WebForms is the user's responsibility for installation.
Step 1: Go to the section “Modules” and check whether you have enabled modules such as Field/Field UI and Contact Form.
Use the path admin/modules/install to download and install the module “WebForms” with the help of file zip/gzip.
It is recommended for all our users to use features in different usage. So, enabling sub-modules inside the WebForm module is a must. There, you can see three sets of sub-modules!
Here is the list of configurations used in WebForms:
Webform UI – The user interface is necessary for maintenance and build-up
Webform Templates – The creation of webforms is implemented with starter templates
Webform Scheduled Email Handler – Email scheduler is handled by webform email handle
Webform Node – Integration of nodes with the content type used in webform
Webform Image Select – To select image support of providing element suits here.
Webform Devel – This gives support for developing tools in the module webform
Webform Bootstrap – It guides integration by using webform bootstrap
Webform Access – Specifically for nodes in web forms, you must have control of webform access.
Webform – It helps to enable the generation of questionnaires and webforms.
