Build Reactive Forms Fast with LiveView & LiveSvelte

Discover how Stacksync enables fast reactive forms with LiveView and LiveSvelte, delivering real-time bi-directional data sync across enterprise systems.

Build Reactive Forms Fast with LiveView & LiveSvelte

Modern enterprise applications face a critical challenge: building reactive forms that maintain real-time data consistency across multiple operational systems. Traditional form implementations force development teams into inefficient trade-offs between client-side reactivity and server-side reliability, creating data silos that undermine operational efficiency.

Without proper data synchronization infrastructure, every aspect of business operations becomes fraught with delays, errors, miscommunication, and inevitable profit loss [1]. This technical inefficiency compounds when forms need to sync data across CRMs, ERPs, and databases in real-time.

Stacksync eliminates these architectural limitations by providing true bi-directional synchronization capabilities that integrate seamlessly with reactive form implementations, ensuring data consistency without compromising development velocity.

The Technical Problem: Form Data Synchronization Complexity

Enterprise forms require immediate data propagation across multiple systems. Real-time dashboards in finance, patient records in healthcare, inventory across retail stores, or SaaS platforms syncing customer data between regions all suffer from delays, duplicates, and mistakes without proper synchronization [2].

Traditional Approach Limitations

Manual API Integration: Custom form-to-system connections require extensive engineering resources for:

  • Complex authentication handling across multiple systems
  • Custom conflict resolution logic
  • Manual error handling and retry mechanisms
  • Ongoing maintenance as APIs evolve

Point Solution Constraints: Development and maintenance overhead requires ongoing effort to build and maintain APIs, including versioning and backward compatibility, while exposing endpoints that must be secured against threats [3].

Data Consistency Failures: Businesses collect data from everywhere—apps, devices, websites, teams, and partners. Those sources don't always communicate, resulting in data silos where sales sees one version of a customer, support sees another, and finance sees something else entirely [2].

The Stacksync Solution: Enterprise-Grade Form Data Synchronization

Stacksync transforms form data management by providing automated bi-directional synchronization that eliminates complex integration work while ensuring real-time data consistency across all connected systems.

Core Technical Advantages

True Bi-Directional Sync: Stacksync implements true bidirectional synchronization as a native capability with built-in conflict resolution and consistency guarantees. When Salesforce updates a customer record that simultaneously changes in PostgreSQL, Stacksync's native bidirectional engine reconciles these changes automatically with proper conflict handling .

Field-Level Change Detection: Unlike integration tools that operate at the record level, Stacksync provides granular field-level monitoring and synchronization capabilities , enabling precise form validation and real-time updates.

Enterprise Security: Stacksync features enterprise-grade security, audit trails, and supports compliance with data governance and privacy standards , eliminating security concerns that plague custom form integrations.

LiveView + Stacksync Form Architecture

The optimal approach combines Phoenix LiveView's stateful backend architecture with Stacksync's real-time synchronization capabilities, creating forms that maintain data consistency across enterprise systems without custom integration complexity.

Database Configuration Form Implementation

Here's how to build forms that leverage Stacksync for seamless multi-system data synchronization:

defmodule MyAppWeb.IntegrationLive.Form do
 use MyAppWeb, :live_view
 
 @impl Phoenix.LiveView
 def mount(params, _session, socket) do
   id = Map.get(params, "id")
   
   case fetch_or_build_integration(socket, id) do
     {:ok, integration} ->
       socket =
         socket
         |> assign(
           is_edit?: not is_nil(id),
           show_errors?: false,
           submit_error: nil,
           integration: integration,
           stacksync_status: check_stacksync_connection()
         )
         |> put_changesets(%{"integration" => %{}, "sync_config" => %{}})
       
       {:ok, socket}
     
     {:error, %NotFoundError{}} ->
       {:ok, push_navigate(socket, to: ~p"/integrations")}
   end
 end
 
 defp check_stacksync_connection do
   # Verify Stacksync API connectivity and sync status
   case Stacksync.API.health_check() do
     {:ok, %{status: "active", syncs: sync_count}} ->
       %{connected: true, active_syncs: sync_count}
     {:error, reason} ->
       %{connected: false, error: reason}
   end
 end
end

Multi-System Changeset Management

Stacksync eliminates the complexity of managing multiple system integrations through forms:

defp put_changesets(socket, params) do
 is_edit? = socket.assigns.is_edit?
 integration = socket.assigns.integration
 
 # Primary system configuration
 integration_changeset =
   if is_edit? do
     Integration.update_changeset(integration, params["integration"])
   else
     Integration.create_changeset(%Integration{}, params["integration"])
   end
 
 # Stacksync configuration for bi-directional sync
 sync_changeset =
   if is_edit? do
     StacksyncConfig.update_changeset(integration.sync_config, params["sync_config"])
   else
     StacksyncConfig.create_changeset(%StacksyncConfig{}, params["sync_config"])
   end
   |> validate_stacksync_compatibility()
 
 socket
 |> assign(:integration_changeset, integration_changeset)
 |> assign(:sync_changeset, sync_changeset)
end

defp validate_stacksync_compatibility(changeset) do
 # Leverage Stacksync's 200+ pre-built connectors
 case Ecto.Changeset.get_field(changeset, :source_system) do
   system when system in ["salesforce", "hubspot", "netsuite"] ->
     changeset
   _ ->
     Ecto.Changeset.add_error(changeset, :source_system, "System not supported by Stacksync")
 end
end

Enterprise Data Encoding with Stacksync Integration

Stacksync automatically maps fields between systems even when they have different names and data types, handling data transformation and type casting automatically :

defp encode_integration(%Integration{} = integration) do
 %{
   "id" => integration.id,
   "name" => integration.name || generate_integration_name(),
   "source_system" => integration.source_system,
   "target_system" => integration.target_system,
   "sync_enabled" => integration.sync_config.enabled || false,
   "field_mappings" => encode_stacksync_mappings(integration.sync_config),
   "real_time_sync" => true,  # Stacksync's core capability
   "conflict_resolution" => integration.sync_config.conflict_resolution || "timestamp",
   "security_mode" => "enterprise"  # Stacksync's SOC2/GDPR compliance
 }
end

defp encode_stacksync_mappings(%StacksyncConfig{field_mappings: mappings}) do
 # Leverage Stacksync's automatic field mapping capabilities
 Enum.map(mappings, fn mapping ->
   %{
     "source_field" => mapping.source_field,
     "target_field" => mapping.target_field,
     "transformation" => mapping.transformation || "auto", # Stacksync handles automatically
     "bidirectional" => true
   }
 end)
end

   |> assign(:stacksync_connectors, get_available_connectors())
   |> assign(
     :form_errors,
     %{
       integration: Error.errors_on(assigns.integration_changeset),
       sync: Error.errors_on(assigns.sync_changeset)
     }

Stacksync-Enhanced Event Handlers

LiveView handlers leverage Stacksync's automated synchronization capabilities:

@impl Phoenix.LiveView
def handle_event("test_stacksync_sync", %{"source" => source, "target" => target}, socket) do
 # Test connection using Stacksync's validation API
 case Stacksync.API.validate_sync_config(source, target) do
   {:ok, %{status: "valid", latency_ms: latency}} ->
     {:reply, %{success: true, latency: latency}, socket}
   
   {:error, %{reason: reason}} ->
     {:reply, %{success: false, error: reason}, socket}
 end
end

@impl Phoenix.LiveView
def handle_event("form_submitted", %{"form" => form}, socket) do
 params = decode_params(form)
 
 socket =
   socket
   |> put_changesets(params)
   |> assign(:show_errors?, true)
 
 with true <- socket.assigns.integration_changeset.valid?,
      true <- socket.assigns.sync_changeset.valid? do
   case create_stacksync_integration(socket, params) do
     {:ok, integration} ->
       # Stacksync handles the actual sync setup automatically
       {:noreply, push_navigate(socket, to: ~p"/integrations/#{integration.id}")}
     
     {:error, %Ecto.Changeset{} = changeset} ->
       {:noreply, assign(socket, :integration_changeset, changeset)}
     
     {:error, error} ->
       {:noreply, assign(socket, :submit_error, Exception.message(error))}
   end
 else
   _ ->
     {:noreply, socket}
 end
end

defp create_stacksync_integration(socket, params) do
 with {:ok, integration} <- create_local_integration(params),
      {:ok, sync_config} <- Stacksync.API.create_sync(
        source: params["integration"]["source_system"],
        target: params["integration"]["target_system"],
        bidirectional: true,
        real_time: true
      ) do
   
   # Link local integration with Stacksync configuration
   update_integration_with_stacksync(integration, sync_config)
 end
end

Stacksync vs. Alternative Integration Approaches

Manual API Integration Challenges

Custom Code Maintenance: Traditional form-to-system integrations require:

  • 3-6 months of initial development time
  • Ongoing maintenance as APIs evolve
  • Custom error handling and retry logic
  • Security implementation and compliance management

Stacksync Advantage: Stacksync reduces implementation delays from months to minutes, costs by 10x factor, and removes all complexity behind enterprise system integration .

Point Solution Limitations

Generic Integration Platforms: While generic integration platforms offer breadth of connectivity, specialized solutions like Stacksync deliver superior results for specific high-value use cases with significantly less effort, greater reliability, and better performance .

Limited Bi-Directional Support: Most platforms implement two separate one-way syncs, creating:

  • Synchronization loops and data conflicts
  • Complex conflict resolution requirements
