Here is an example of email template:

<?php
use CrazyCat\Forms\Block\Widget\Form;

/** @var Form $block */
$blockId = $block->getJsId();
?>
<form method="post"
      action="<?= $block->escapeUrl($block->getFormAction()) ?>"
      data-mage-init='{"validation": {}}'>
    <?= $block->getHiddenInputHtml(); /* @noEscape */ ?>
    <fieldset class="fieldset">
        <div class="field required">
            <label for="<?= $blockId /* @noEscape */ ?>-firstname" class="label">
                <?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Firstname')) ?>
            </label>
            <div class="control">
                <input id="<?= $blockId /* @noEscape */ ?>-firstname" type="text" name="data[Firstname]"
                       class="input-text required-entry"/>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="field required">
            <label for="<?= $blockId /* @noEscape */ ?>-lastname" class="label">
                <?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Lastname')) ?>
            </label>
            <div class="control">
                <input id="<?= $blockId /* @noEscape */ ?>-lastname" type="text" name="data[Lastname]"
                       class="input-text required-entry"/>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="field required">
            <label for="<?= $blockId /* @noEscape */ ?>-email" class="label">
                <?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Email')) ?>
            </label>
            <div class="control">
                <input id="<?= $blockId /* @noEscape */ ?>-email" type="text" name="data[Email]"
                       class="input-text required-entry validate-email"/>
            </div>
        </div>
    </fieldset>
    <div class="actions-toolbar">
        <button type="submit" class="action primary">
            <span><?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Submit')) ?></span>
        </button>
    </div>
</form>

Several key points need to be noted:

  • Form method must be post
  • Form action must be $block->escapeUrl($block->getFormAction())
  • Hidden fields are required: $block->getHiddenInputHtml()
  • Name of post elements must be wrapped with data[]

Form Elements

Using Configure Elements as renderer means that elements in the block will be rendered with UI components.

The element management is a drag and drop box, it provides some common types of frontend model and validation to choose.

Configuration column of the elements is to add JavaScript settings for related UI component.

CAPTCHA

Administrator is able to enable the CAPTCHA through switching this setting in admin panel:
STORES / Settings / Configuration > SECURITY / Google reCAPTCHA Storefront > Storefront / Enable for Customized Forms

And fill in Google API Website Key and Google API Secret Key of the related service.
