Docs don't provide clarify how to build forms

[coldfusioncoder]

Brand new to Fresh, trying it out for the first time, working from the default counter example: I then go to the docs to replace the counter with a form. I locate the page https://fresh.deno.dev/docs/advanced/forms and I expect to find everything I need on this page to get something working. The docs show adding a new routes file which imports { define } from "../utils.ts" but there is no such file in my project. Additionally, wouldn't a form be an island? The docs don't provide any answers.

HTML forms by default work without JavaScript. So going with an island is not required. You can optionally enhance forms via JavaScript, but it's not required.

The default Fresh template when you create a new app creates a utils.ts file with these contents:

import { createDefine } from "fresh";

// This specifies the type of "ctx.state" which is used to share
// data among middlewares, layouts and routes.
export interface State {
  shared: string;
}

export const define = createDefine<State>();
