I have been given a simple task of creating a sharepoint form, collect few information, Make and API call, do some calculation using response from API and the original input and show results on the page.
I don’t have much experience in working with sharepoint or infopath. I have been told that infopath is the way to achieve this
Can someone suggest what’s the best way to achieve this ? Can we use JS in infopath ? Or is it only c# ?
FYI:- power apps is not an option due to legacy platforms
SharePoint has out-of-box features to implement your logic to collect data from user. It is out-of-box list and its list items. On list item creating you have out-of-box form with fields. No InfoPath required. You can add on this form some logic to implement your API calls and displaying its result. I think If I correctly understood then you can do it without any additional tools. You will need just to write code for API calls. SharePoint has also out-of-box list view. Here you can see all data collected from users.
InfoPath required if you need difficult form logic. Like I want choose value here and another value will be calculated on this value and set to another field and additionally will be formatted.
