FormCMS is a cutting-edge, open-source Content Management System designed to revolutionize web development through AI. By automating the most tedious parts of development—schema design, data seeding, API creation, and UI building—FormCMS allows you to build complex, production-ready applications in minutes rather than weeks.

FormCMS isn't just a place to store content; it's an AI-driven development partner.

Forget manual table definitions. Simply describe your business domain (e.g., "I need a system to manage a digital library with books, authors, and rentals"), and FormCMS's AI will:

• Design the normalized database schema.
• Establish relationships (Many-to-One, Many-to-Many).
• Configure appropriate data types (Strings, Numbers, Lookups, Junctions).

Tired of "Lorem Ipsum"? Use AI to generate realistic, high-quality sample data:

• Populate your database with meaningful records.
• Preserve relational integrity across entities.
• Test your UI with data that looks and feels real.

Writing GraphQL can be complex. In FormCMS, you can:

• Prompt the AI to build logic: "Give me all books published after 2020 by authors with more than 5 stars."
• The AI generates the GraphQL query and converts it into a secure, high-performance REST endpoint automatically.

Go from prompt to page instantly:

• "Build a landing page for my library that sections books by genre and features a search bar."
• AI generates the HTML/CSS using semantic structures and bridges it with your data queries.

Watch FormCMS build a complete Library system (Entities, Data, Queries, and UI) from scratch in under 60 seconds (sped up 10x).

Get the project running locally in 3 steps.

This command builds and starts the FormCMS backend and database in a container.

sh rebuild.sh

Verify that http://127.0.0.1:5000 is accessible.

Copy the example environment file and add your Google Gemini API Key.

cp packages/backend/.env.example packages/backend/.env

Inside .env, set your key:

GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here

Run the frontend and backend agent locally.

npm run dev

Visit http://localhost:5173/mate to start building!

FormCMS is built on a modern, decoupled architecture designed for performance and flexibility.

The "brain" of the ecosystem. This tool leverages LLMs to architect your data models and design your UI. It translates your natural language requirements into technical configurations that the system understands.

The core high-performance engine built with ASP.NET Core (C#).

• REST & GraphQL: Automatically exposes APIs for every entity you define.
• Normalized Storage: Optimized for speed (Sqlite, Postgres, SQL Server, MySQL supported).
• Scale: Designed to handle millions of records and high-concurrency environments.

A sleek, React-based administrative interface.

• Manage your entities, queries, and pages.
• Visual editors for relationships and data.
• Built-in audit logging and publication workflows.
