Form Builder Editor Console is an Electron app for users to run Form Builder Editor locally.
(It's currently built for macOS only. Let us know if you would use it for a different OS.)
The preferred way to install is through the MoJ's Self Service application.
Alternatively:
- Download the latest release from GitHub
- Double-click the zip file to expand the app
- Move the
Form Builder Consoleapp to theApplicationsdirectory
The app is signed by the Ministry of Justice.
Double-click the app's icon. The first time it is run the app will install the Editor and its dependencies.
Each Form is created as a Git repository on your file system. It contains JSON files which are updated as you make changes in Editor.
(In macOS you can find the repositories in /Users/$USER/Documents/formbuilder/forms.)
You can clone a remote repository from GitHub.
You can create a repository on GitHub, too, but you will need to enter a personal access token. (Tokens are encrypted for safe-keeping, so you will also need to create a password.)
Form Builder Editor Console does not currently provide a way to commit or push changes - you must use your own Git client.
