We need to enhance the UI of that great module and let users create and edit the form fields.

Problem:
Non technical users couldn't create or edit their form fields as yaml or render arrays very herd to them

Motivation:
Facilitate the operation of creating field forms by using js libraries

Proposed solution:
Integrate that library formbuilder to the module and build the field settings under the hood as yaml/array for save.

Other solutions are welcomed:

After @smaz reply we now need some more ui enhancement to be more user friendly and easy for non technical users.

If you're using the latest version (8.x-1.0-beta9), there is a 'yamlform_ui' submodule you can enable which provides a UI for creating / editing fields, rather than needing to edit the YAML.

I think this ticket is more about providing WYSIWYG form builder UI. So it could be reopened.

I agree that the YAML form module and Drupal's form (and field) building UI needs to be significantly improved. Personally, I would like Drupal core to lead the way. After YAML Form 1.x is released, I am open to looking at external form builder libraries to help solve this issue/challenge.

I also feel that Ninja Forms has the best form builder UI on the market. https://three.ninjaforms.com/

@smaz thanks alot for your response its really looks very good, but we need more enhancements to be more user friendly.

@jrockwitz you are right, plus add some more flexibility for users to control layout and display.
