Form preview behavior

[danielnaab]

Overview

As a form builder, I would like the form manager's preview function to behave like a live form, so that I can verify my work without publishing and viewing the live form.

Context

Form builders want more accurate form previews. See #25 and #26.

Currently, the form preview do not validate and manage session data like a real form. Most likely, the preview code could be simplified a bit if the live form and preview behaved more similarly. We might want to consider adding a separate Astro endpoint for the preview, so we can exercise the same backend logic as the live form.

Acceptance Criteria

Required outcomes of the story

• Form behaves as closely as possible to the live form

Tasks

Definition of done

The "definition of done" ensures our quality standards are met with each bit of user-facing behavior we add. Everything that can be done incrementally should be done incrementally, while the context and details are fresh. If it’s inefficient or “hard” to do so, the team should figure out why and add OPEX/DEVEX backlog items to make it easier and more efficient.

• Behavior
  • Acceptance criteria met
  • Implementation matches design decisions
• Documentation
  • ADRs (/documents/adr folder)
  • Relevant README.md(s)
• Code quality
  • Code refactored for clarity and no design/technical debt
  • Adhere to separation of concerns; code is not tightly coupled, especially to 3rd party dependencies; dependency rule followed
  • Code is reviewed by team member
  • Code quality checks passed
• Security and privacy
  • Automated security and privacy gates passed
• Testing tasks completed
  • Automated tests pass
  • Unit test coverage of our code >= 90%
• Build and deploy
  • Build process updated
  • API(s) are versioned
  • Feature toggles created and/or deleted. Document the feature toggle
  • Source code is merged to the main branch
