Differences with formio/formio

[NiMusco]

Hey,

I'm not getting what is the difference between this repository and formio/formio.
I mean, I understand this is the front-end application, but formio comes with its own interface, served on 3001 after a default installation. Are they different?

Thanks.

@NiMusco Hi

I'm not getting what is the difference between this repository and formio/formio.

This can be used, if you want to just render the front-end application and perform CRUD operations on Resource and Forms .This repo will connect to the FormIO portal and create a new project which you see in the URL when you run the application.
*This connects to the DB in the FormIO and anything done in the URL reflects to the online instance and same form other side also

In the formio/formio , it comes with the local server so that you can spin up the server in your system and run the formio application. Even this download the same front-end application.
https://github.com/formio/formio/blob/5b2825975f1abe686616d69811c613f00dc71c85/install.js#L274
This requires the MongoDB to be installed and all the data of the forms/resources are stored in the system itself.

And about the interface , i don't think , there is much of a difference. Running this repo or the main formio , both interface is similar.

Hope your doubt is clarified.

I believe this repository is what is downloaded when formio/formio does "Downloading client ..." during its install.

That is correct @bacon1986
