Forms Bridge 4.2.5 is now available. The is a minor upgrade that comes to solve some broken functionalities for the WPForms and Formidable integrations in its free versions. In addition, it includes a new feature: Backend endpoints introspection.
Changes
- PRO support checks on integrations and polyfills to fix broken features.
- Backend endpoints introspection.
Form builder integrations with PRO support checks
After releasing the Formidable Forms integration and adding support for the free version of WPForms, some bridge templates were broken due to the lack of advanced fields—such as file uploads or date pickers—in the free versions of these form plugins.
To address these limitations, this new release includes methods within these integrations to detect which version is in use. It also provides polyfills to emulate advanced fields when only the free version is available.
With this update, nearly all features of the Forms Bridge templates system remains fully functional, except for file upload field support. This type of fields will be ignored form templates if the form plugin does not support them.
Backend endpoints introspection
The Forms Bridge introspection system is the responsible to scan backend APIs in order to describe its interfaces, retrieve endpoint parameters and, now, to list available endpoints.
This new feature is integrated with the bridge forms of the Forms Bridge admin page as an HTML <datalist> tag that add autocomplete suggestions to the endpoint field and facilitates the bridge setup.
