Feature Request: Add More Required Templates and Master Templates for MongoDB and Other Databases

Summary

Currently, Postpipe / Static Forms provides limited pre-built templates for database-backed forms. To streamline onboarding and reduce repetitive setup work, this feature request proposes adding a broader library of required form templates along with master database templates for MongoDB and other supported databases.

These templates should provide drop-in structures for common use cases and standardized DB schemas that developers can reuse across projects.


Problem Statement

Developers frequently need to create similar forms and database schemas for recurring workflows. Examples include:

  • Authentication flows
  • Lead capture
  • Contact & support
  • E-commerce operations
  • CRUD-based dashboards
  • Project / task tracking
  • Ticketing & reporting

Today, each implementation requires manual schema design, field mapping, and database integration, which results in:

  • Extra development overhead
  • Higher chance of schema inconsistency
  • Increased onboarding friction
  • Slower time-to-value

Proposed Solution

Introduce a structured library of:

1️⃣ Required Form Templates

These are pre-configured forms tied to typical backend workflows, such as:

Authentication & User Management

  • Signup / Register
  • Login
  • Forgot Password
  • Reset Password
  • Email Verification
  • Profile Update
  • Account Delete Request

Business & Operations

  • Contact Form
  • Support Ticket Submission
  • Feedback / NPS Form
  • Bug Report
  • Feature Request
  • Appointment Booking
  • Order / Checkout Form
  • Refund / Return Request
  • Vendor / Partner Onboarding

Marketing & Growth

  • Newsletter Subscription
  • Lead Capture Form
  • Event Registration
  • Survey Form
  • Beta Signup

Admin / CRUD

  • Create Resource
  • Update Resource
  • Delete Resource Confirmation
  • Moderation Request

Each template should include:

  • Standardized field definitions
  • Validation presets
  • Optional spam protection
  • Auto-mapped submission handler

2️⃣ Master Database Templates

Provide ready-to-use schema blueprints for supported databases (e.g., MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase, Prisma).

Example master templates:

MongoDB Master Templates

  • users collection (auth-ready)
  • sessions / tokens
  • leads
  • tickets
  • orders
  • appointments
  • events
  • audit_logs

SQL / Relational Master Templates

  • Normalized user table + profiles
  • Orders / order_items
  • Ticket system schema
  • Blog / CMS schema
  • Subscription billing schema

Each DB master template should include:

  • Schema definition
  • Index recommendations
  • Validation strategy
  • Suggested relationships / references
  • Example queries

Expected Benefits

  • Faster onboarding for new developers
  • Consistent schema design across deployments
  • Reduced risk of implementation errors
  • Cleaner evolution paths for production workloads
  • Better UX for Static Forms + DB users
  • Increased adoption due to out-of-the-box capability

Acceptance Criteria

  • A documented library of required form templates is available in the UI or docs
  • Master templates exist for MongoDB and at least one SQL database
  • Templates are plug-and-play or minimally configurable
  • Schema documentation is included

Additional Context

This request aligns with ongoing improvements around:

  • Multi-tenant data isolation
  • Multi-database configuration support
  • Static Forms usability enhancements

Providing a high-quality template library + DB schema standards will significantly improve developer productivity and help maintain product consistency at scale.
