How to build Polls and surveys with Lovable?

Setting Up Your Lovable Project Environment

Log into your Lovable dashboard and create a new project named "Polls and Surveys".
In the code editor provided by Lovable, create a new file called index.html. This file will serve as the main interface for your poll or survey.

Including Dependencies Directly in Your Code

Lovable doesn’t provide a terminal, so you’ll add any dependency directly in your HTML via a script tag.
In your index.html file within the <head> section, add the following code snippet to include Lovable’s core library and any extra libraries required for polls and surveys:


<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Polls and Surveys</title>
  <!-- Include Lovable core library -->
  <script src="https://cdn.lovable.io/core.js"></script>
  <!-- Include Lovable Polls Plugin (if available) -->
  <script src="https://cdn.lovable.io/polls.js"></script>
</head>

Creating the Poll/Survey HTML Structure

Below the <body> tag in your index.html, design the basic layout for your poll or survey.
Create a form where users can submit their answers. For example:


<body>
  <h1>We Value Your Opinion</h1>
  <form id="surveyForm">
    <p>Which feature do you like the most?</p>
    <input type="radio" name="feature" value="Design" id="design">
    <label for="design">Design</label><br>
    <input type="radio" name="feature" value="Performance" id="performance">
    <label for="performance">Performance</label><br>
    <input type="radio" name="feature" value="Usability" id="usability">
    <label for="usability">Usability</label><br>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>
  <div id="pollResults"></div>
</body>

Integrating Poll and Survey Functionality Using Lovable API

Right before the closing </body> tag in your index.html, add a script tag to write the JavaScript that powers the poll.
This code will initialize the Lovable Poll API, capture form submissions, and update the poll results on the page.


// Initialize Lovable Poll Module (Assuming the library exposes a global "LovablePoll" object)
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
  // Prepare the poll component by targeting the results container
  var resultsContainer = document.getElementById("pollResults");

  // Function to send survey data to Lovable's Poll API
  function submitSurvey(data) {
    // The Lovable API call: This is a simulated function call using the LovablePoll module.
    LovablePoll.submit({
      pollId: "poll_12345", // Unique identifier for your poll
      response: data,
      onSuccess: function(response) {
        // Update the results container with new data from the server
        resultsContainer.innerHTML = "Thank you for your vote! Current results: " + response.results;
      },
      onError: function(error) {
        resultsContainer.innerHTML = "There was an error submitting your vote.";
      }
    });
  }
  // Handle form submission
  var form = document.getElementById("surveyForm");
  form.addEventListener("submit", function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var selected = document.querySelector('input[name="feature"]:checked');
    if(selected) {
      // Send the selected poll option to the Lovable API
      submitSurvey(selected.value);
    } else {
      resultsContainer.innerHTML = "Please select an option.";
    }
  });
});

Customizing Your Poll and Survey Appearance

If you wish to style your poll and survey, create a new file called styles.css in your project.
Add your CSS definitions in that file. For example:


/_ styles.css _/
body {
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
  margin: 20px;
}

h1 {
  color: #333;
}
form {
  background-color: #f9f9f9;
  padding: 15px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}
button {
  background-color: #5cb85c;
  color: white;
  border: none;
  padding: 10px;
  cursor: pointer;
}
#pollResults {
  margin-top: 20px;
  font-weight: bold;
}

Link this CSS file in your index.html within the <head> section. For example:


<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">

Testing and Viewing Your Poll or Survey

Save all your changes and use Lovable’s inbuilt preview feature to test your poll or survey directly in the browser.
Interact with the form by selecting an option and clicking "Submit". You should see an update in the "pollResults" area based on the simulated Lovable API response.
If errors occur, check your code carefully to ensure that the Lovable library is properly referenced and that element IDs match between the HTML and JavaScript.

Deploying Your Polls and Surveys

After testing, publish or save your project following Lovable’s deployment procedures. This makes your poll or survey live to your audience.
Share the live URL with your users, and monitor the responses as they submit their feedback.

Best Practices for Building a Polls and surveys with AI Code Generators

Understanding Polls and Surveys with AI Code Generators

Building polls and surveys with AI code generators enables even non-tech users to create interactive feedback tools. This guide explains how to plan, design, implement, and deploy your survey projects using AI-enhanced automation and code generation.

Prerequisites

A computer with internet access.
A modern web browser.
Basic understanding of the survey’s purpose and target audience.
An account on an AI code generator platform (if required).

Planning Your Polls and Surveys Project

Identify your survey goals: decide which information or feedback you want to gather.
Outline the survey structure: list questions, answer types (multiple-choice, rating scales, open-ended), and any conditional pathways.
Determine how you will analyze results: select metrics and data visualization methods.

Selecting an AI Code Generator Tool

Research available AI code generators that support form and survey creation.
Choose a tool that offers customizable templates and easy integration with third-party services.
Consider community reviews and available support resources.

Setting Up Your Project Environment

Create an account on your chosen AI code generator platform.
Familiarize yourself with the platform’s dashboard and interface.
Explore built-in templates or example projects related to polls and surveys.

Designing Your Survey Interface

Utilize the platform’s drag-and-drop interface to arrange your survey questions.
Keep the layout simple, clean, and intuitive for respondents of all technical levels.
Ensure the design is responsive, catering to both desktop and mobile users.
Personalize the survey by adding your branding, logos, and clear instructions.

Integrating AI-Powered Features

Employ natural language processing (NLP) to enhance open-ended response analysis.
Use AI-generated suggestions to implement conditional question pathways or branching logic.
Leverage AI tools to automate response validation and detect inconsistencies.
