Basic Dark

The Basic Dark template is intended to be a neatly styled basic formatting template that is plug-and-play and doesn't require any frameworks or toolkits, etc. This formatting template is ready-to-go on "dark" pages and does not require any additional styling unless you wish to do so. You can place the CSS and JS inside the formatting template or add to your site's CSS / JS files.

JS

The following JS is a supplemental starting point to handle additional elements in the form.

// Adjustments for Success and Errors classes
document.addEventListener('freeform-ready', function (event) {
  event.options.errorClassBanner = 'freeform-form-errors';
  event.options.errorClassList = 'freeform-errors';
  event.options.errorClassField = 'freeform-has-errors';
  event.options.successClassBanner = 'freeform-form-success';
});
// Styling for Stripe Payments field
document.addEventListener('freeform-stripe-styling', function (event) {
  (event.detail.base = {
    fontSize: '16px',
    color: '#eaeaea',
    fontFamily:
      '-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol","Noto Color Emoji"',
    '::placeholder': {
      color: '#6c757d',
    },
  }),
    (event.detail.invalid = {
      color: '#dc3545',
    });
});
