About this guide

This development guide walks you through everything you need to do to build a high-quality React app integrated with Formspree. Check out the tasks below to get started. To save time, you can also use our boilerplate, which gives you a complete React codebase with all of these tasks done for you. Okay, let's dive in!

Tasks

Setup your React app
Setup a React app using npx create-react-app and routing using React Router. There are many ways you can structure your app, but a common setup is to have an App component that defines top-level routes, with each route component imported from the /pages directory. The rest of your components should be located in your /components directory. You can then run your app locally with the npm run start command.
Build your Formspree contact form
Create a contact form powered by Formspree and your component library of choice. Your form will submit directly to Formspree, which will automatically send an email to your admin address containing the sender's message. Make sure your form properly validates inputs and display any errors returned by Formspree.
