The contact form component allows customers to send messages, request quotes, and ask questions. It includes client-side validation, loading states, and beautiful alert notifications powered by SweetAlert2.

​
Component overview

The Contactanos component provides a full-featured contact form with:
  • Four input fields (name, last name, email, phone)
  • Message textarea
  • Form validation
  • Loading state during submission
  • Success/error notifications
  • Integration with backend API
Location: src/components/Contactanos.astro

​
Form structure

The form includes five fields:
1

Name field

<input
  id="name"
  type="text"
  name="name"
  autocomplete="given-name"
  placeholder="Nombre"
  class="block w-full rounded-md bg-black/5 px-3.5 py-2 text-base text-black..."
/>
2

Last name field

<input
  id="lastName"
  type="text"
  name="lastName"
  autocomplete="family-name"
  placeholder="Apellidos"
  class="block w-full rounded-md bg-black/5 px-3.5 py-2..."
/>
3

Email field

<input
  id="email"
  type="email"
  name="email"
  autocomplete="email"
  placeholder="Correo electrónico"
  class="block w-full rounded-md bg-black/5 px-3.5 py-2..."
/>
4

Phone field

<input
  id="phone"
  type="text"
  name="phone"
  placeholder="123-456-7890"
  class="block min-w-0 grow bg-black/5 py-1.5 pr-3 pl-1..."
/>
5

Message textarea

<textarea
  id="message"
  name="message"
  rows="4"
  placeholder="Tu mensaje"
  class="block w-full rounded-md bg-black/5 px-3.5 py-2..."
></textarea>

​
Form submission handling

The form uses client-side JavaScript to handle submissions asynchronously: 
const form = document.getElementById("contact-form");
const btn = document.getElementById('btn-submit');

form.addEventListener("submit", async (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  
  btn.setAttribute('disabled', 'true');
  btn.innerHTML = 'Enviando...';
  
  const formData = new FormData(form);
  const data = Object.fromEntries(formData);
  
  try {
    const res = await fetch("/api/contact", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
    });
    
    if (res.ok) {
      Swal.fire({
        title: "Gracias por tu mensaje",
        text: "Nos pondrémos en contacto contigo",
        icon: "success"
      });
      form.reset();
    } else {
      Swal.fire({
        title: "UPS",
        text: "Ocurrió un error, intentalo de nuevo más tarde...",
        icon: "error"
      });
    }
  } catch (err) {
    Swal.fire({
      title: "UPS",
      text: "Ocurrió un error, por favor, envíanos un mensaje por WhatsApp",
      icon: "error"
    });
  } finally {
    btn.removeAttribute('disabled');
    btn.innerHTML = 'Enviar';
  }
});
The form prevents default submission behavior and uses fetch() to send data asynchronously, providing a better user experience without page reloads.

​
Loading states

The submit button shows visual feedback during form submission:
StateButton TextDisabled
Initial”Enviar”No
Submitting”Enviando…”Yes
Complete”Enviar”No
// Start loading
btn.setAttribute('disabled', 'true');
btn.innerHTML = 'Enviando...';

// End loading
btn.removeAttribute('disabled');
btn.innerHTML = 'Enviar';

​
SweetAlert2 integration

The component uses SweetAlert2 for beautiful alert notifications: 
Swal.fire({
  title: "Gracias por tu mensaje",
  text: "Nos pondrémos en contacto contigo",
  icon: "success"
});
Displayed when the message is successfully sent.
Swal.fire({
  title: "UPS",
  text: "Ocurrió un error, intentalo de nuevo más tarde o envíanos un mensaje por WhatsApp",
  icon: "error"
});
Displayed when there’s a network error or server issue.
SweetAlert2 is imported via npm and bundled with your application:
npm install sweetalert2

​
API endpoint integration

The form sends data to the /api/contact endpoint: Endpoint: src/pages/api/contact.ts

​
Request format

POST /api/contact
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "Juan",
  "lastName": "Pérez",
  "email": "juan@example.com",
  "phone": "477-123-4567",
  "message": "Me gustaría cotizar 10 velas Bubbles"
}

​
Server-side validation

The API endpoint performs comprehensive validation:
1

Empty field validation

if(completeName === "" || email === "" || message === "" || phone === ""){
  return new Response(
    JSON.stringify({ success: false, msg: "Por favor, llena el formulario" }),
    { status: 500 }
  );
}
2

Email format validation

const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;

if (!emailRegex.test(email)) {
  return new Response(
    JSON.stringify({ success: false, msg: "Por favor, ingresa un correo válido" }),
    { status: 500 }
  );
}
3

External email service

await fetch("https://email-api-bj45.vercel.app/api/mail/contact", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify(data),
})
The endpoint forwards the data to an external email service.
The API endpoint uses export const prerender = false to enable server-side rendering and form processing. Without this, the API route won’t work in production.

​
Complete API endpoint code

export const prerender = false;
import type { APIRoute } from "astro";

interface formData {
  name: String,
  email: String, 
  message: String,
  phone: Number
}

const sendFormData = (data: formData) => {
  return new Promise(async(resolve, reject) => {
    console.log("Informacion enviada a la api: ", data);

    await fetch("https://email-api-bj45.vercel.app/api/mail/contact", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
    })
    .then((response) => {
      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error("Error en la respuesta del servidor");
      }
      return response.json();
    })
    .then((data) => {
      console.log("Éxito:", data);
      return data;
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error("Error:", error);
      throw error;
    });

    setTimeout(() => {
      console.log("Datos enviados:", data);
      resolve({ status: "success" });
    }, 1000);
  });
}

export const POST: APIRoute = async ({ request }) => {
  try {
    const body = await request.json();
    const { name, email, message, lastName, phone } = body;
    const completeName = name + ' ' + lastName;

    // Validate fields
    if(completeName === "" || email === "" || message === "" || phone === ""){
      return new Response(
        JSON.stringify({ success: false, msg: "Por favor, llena el formulario" }),
        { status: 500 }
      );
    }
    
    // Validate email format
    const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;
    if (!emailRegex.test(email)) {
      return new Response(
        JSON.stringify({ success: false, msg: "Por favor, ingresa un correo válido" }),
        { status: 500 }
      );
    }

    // Send to email service
    await sendFormData({name: completeName, email, message, phone})

    return new Response(
      JSON.stringify({ success: true, msg: "Mensaje recibido" }),
      { status: 200}
    );
  } catch (err) {
    return new Response(
      JSON.stringify({ success: false, msg: "Error procesando el mensaje" }),
      { status: 500 }
    );
  }
};

​
Layout and styling

The form is wrapped in a centered container with amber background: 
<div class="isolate bg-amber-50 px-6 py-24 sm:py-22 lg:px-8 flex justify-center">
  <div class="bg-white w-[100%] lg:w-[50%] p-5 rounded-lg">
    <!-- Form content -->
  </div>
</div>

​
Responsive width

BreakpointForm Width
Mobile100%
Large (lg)50%

​
Input styling

All form inputs use consistent styling: 
block w-full rounded-md bg-black/5 px-3.5 py-2 text-base text-black
outline-1 -outline-offset-1 outline-white/10
placeholder:text-gray-500
focus:outline-2 focus:-outline-offset-2 focus:outline-indigo-500
  • Semi-transparent black background (5% opacity)
  • Indigo outline on focus
  • Gray placeholder text
  • Rounded corners

​
WhatsApp fallback

The component includes a <Whatsapp /> component for alternative contact: 
---
import Whatsapp from "./Whatsapp.astro";
---

<Whatsapp />
This provides users with a backup contact method if the form fails.

​
Usage in pages

src/pages/index.astro
---
import Contactanos from "../components/Contactanos.astro";
---

<Layout title="VELARIA | Inicio">
  <Contactanos />
</Layout>

​
