POC SurveyJS + Gatsby + Postgraphile

Based on:

• SurveyJS
• Gatsby
• Postgraphile

Demo video: https://youtu.be/yMdjBaz2Wa4

Why this project?

I would like to create conditional form surveys.

This is my journey:

• attempt 1: with Google Forms ⇢ it failed, Google Forms is too limited about conditional feature
• attempt 2: with free TypeForm plan ⇢ it failed, too limited about conditional (« Logic jumps »)
• attempt 3: with professional TypeForm plan ⇢ it failed, really tough and tedious to configure and some limitations
• attempt 4: with OpenSource LimeSurvey ⇢ fewer limitations that Google Forms and TypeForm but really tough and tedious to configure

Finally, after some search on GitHub, I found SurveyJS Library and I wrote this POC to test it.

It is a success, now I can write and configure my survey with code: src/datas/surveys.json.

SurveyJS have many build in Question Types and I can customize or create new Question Types.

Yes, I know, this solution isn't accessible to non-programmer people, but I'm programmer, and with this stack, I have no limitation and I can write survey quickly, without painful UI.
