Hi @frozen yacht. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Astro offers several ways to build interactive quizzes that collect user input and, for example, submit an email to receive a summary. Here are the options based on the knowledge sources:

1. Use a Quiz Component Integration

There is a dedicated integration called astro-quiz, which provides a quiz component for AstroJS. This package is lightweight (~3kb) and designed to work within Astro projects, making it a good starting point for quiz functionality that fits natively into the Astro ecosystem. You can find it listed among official integrations, which suggests it is maintained and intended for use with Astro projects astro-quiz.

2. Build a Custom Quiz Using a UI Framework

Astro supports React, Preact, Svelte, Vue, and Solid components. You can build your quiz as a component in your preferred framework, handle the quiz logic on the client side, and then submit the results (including the user's email) to an API endpoint for processing. The Astro documentation provides recipes for building forms with API routes, which you can adapt for quiz submissions. For example, you can use a React or Svelte component to manage quiz state and then POST the results to an Astro API route for further processing, such as sending a summary email to the user Build forms with API routes.

3. Handling Form Submission and Email

For the email submission part, you can use Astro's server-side capabilities to process form data and trigger an email. The documentation shows how to handle form submissions using API routes, where you can validate input and perform actions like sending emails after the quiz is completed Build forms with API routes.


Summary:

  • For a ready-made solution, try the astro-quiz integration.
  • For more control, build your quiz as a React/Svelte/etc. component and use Astro API routes to handle submissions and email delivery.
  • Astro's flexible architecture allows you to combine these approaches as needed for your quiz workflow.

If you need more details on implementation, let me know which approach you prefer!
