submit to ninja form programmatically

Question

I've been researching for days and all I want to be able to do is create entries in the ninja form admin listings. Either by submitting custom form (not ninja form generated) or just calling a hook and passing data (data will match actual form fields created in ninja form).

I want to be able to do this so that I can create any type of form layout and still be able to submit to ninja form entry. Or if anyone has any other information on a plugin that can allow me to do such a thing, please share.

In NinjaForms version 3, you probably want to look at this file:

ninja-forms/includes/Actions/Save.php

The process function contains the important bits that may help you:

$sub = Ninja_Forms()->form( $form_id )->sub()->get();

foreach($fields as $field_id => $field_value){
    $sub->update_field_value( $field_id, $field_value );
}

$sub->save();

In NinjaForms version 2, it is a little different

$sub_id = Ninja_Forms()->subs()->create( $form_id );

foreach( $form_fields as $field_id => $value ) {

    Ninja_Forms()->sub( $sub_id )->add_field( $field_id, $value );
}

Where the $form_fields array would look like:

$form_fields = array(

    $fiel_id_1 => $value_1,
    $fiel_id_2 => $value_2,
    ...

);
