Hi Team,
GP.png
We have a requirement to develop a form component similar to the above structure and look and feel for the end user to submit, as of now these fields values will be static but later business might come up different options/Questions. The form submission will return response from backend system. How to develop this component ?
Can we directly use Static html, CSS and JavaScript or should we pass field values through dialog  properties. and use Stylings  ? 

Thanks,
Geo

For me, I would re-use the AEM Core Form Components, and add style systems to match the styling as what you are showing us. 
for example, 
I can see 7 form elements on your page.

1. Form Text, seems standard, you can just overlay this component, and add some CSS to it to match your needs Form Text (aemcomponents.dev)

2.Form Text, seems standard, you can just overlay this component, and add some CSS to it to match your needs Form Text (aemcomponents.dev)
3 & 4. Form Options, you can just overlay this component, and style system to customize the CSS, Form Options (aemcomponents.dev) 

5. Form Slider, this should be a brand new component you should be creating, How To Create Range Sliders (w3schools.com)



For the form submission you can do it two ways. to just post to the form without javascript (making sure you have all form fields on the rendered page) or with javascript, sending the formData to the POST body.

Hi @BrianKasingli ,
Thanks for the response ,But could you please explain how capturing the data , here we need to send the post request to the backend system and get the response.
Should we write custom action type on the form container .

@georhe6 it is depend on what is the case here 

 

if ask to have an author experience where the author can add/remove fields or update style  the solution suggested by @BrianKasingli is good 

but if the ask does not have any author experience then the option without dialog can also work
