Automatic Order Form Population with Client Data via API
mdoservices.tilda.ws
The task was to refine a JavaScript script for automatically filling out an order form on the website with client data obtained through an API via a unique link. The user navigated from a mobile application to the website with parameters (e.g., personal_account_id and user_id), and data (email, full name, phone, address, personal account) needed to be populated in the form.
Problem
The main problem was that data wasn't saved when navigating between pages on the Tilda website. When users moved from one page to another, all the previously filled form data would be lost, creating a poor user experience.
Solution
localStorage was used to solve this problem, and the script was embedded in the site's head for consistent functionality across all pages.
Work Stages
- Analysis of existing script and API - Understanding the current implementation and API structure
- Development of data storage mechanism in localStorage - Creating persistent storage solution
- Script integration for automatic form filling - Implementing the form population logic
- Testing functionality on various pages - Ensuring consistent behavior across the site
- Script implementation in site head for correct operation - Final deployment and optimization
Final Result
- Automatic form filling with client data (email, full name, phone, address, personal account)
- Data persistence between pages using localStorage
- Stable operation with unique link parameters (e.g., https://mdoservices.tilda.ws/?personal_account_id=256&user_id=92664)
- API integration for data retrieval
Technical Features
The script processes URL parameters, requests data through the API, saves them in localStorage and automatically fills form fields. The solution is optimized for the Tilda platform and tested for correct data processing on all pages of the site.
Technologies Used
- JavaScript - Core scripting language
