Welcome to the Locomotive V4 developer hub. You'll find comprehensive guides and documentation to help you start working with Locomotive V4 as quickly as possible, as well as support if you get stuck. Let's jump right in!
The guide [Create a contact form][1] briefly mentions that you can use the JSON API by adding `json: true` to the options. It gives an example response, but not much more than that. In my option the guide is missing some key information. It doesn't tell me if I am responsible for making the request via JavaScript or if the Rails or LocomotiveCMS is doing this for me. If the latter is the case it should also describe how to handle the response. Eg. What event should callbacks be attached to? I'd like to submit some data via an AJAX request but am currently unsure how to do this. I'd like to know the two things mentioned above. 1. Must I initiate the AJAX request myself or is this done by the framework/CMS? 2. If I don't have to initiate the request, how do I attach a callback to handle the response?

I don't get what methods are accessable in the liquid. When I try for example to access the listed attribute of an page it seems to be empty. Is there in any way a full list of all methods that I can call from the liquid code?

Hi, I have a bunch of Locomotive instances running on Heroku. Unfortunately the MongoLab extension is being phased out by November (they recommend migrating by September) and Compose no longer supports MongoDB 3.4. I am having difficulties finding a cost-effective cloud solution for that version of MongoDB, given that it has been marked end of life since January of this year. Do you have any suggestions? Do you plan on updating Engine to support a more recent version of Mongo? Thanks in advance

Hello! I use a lot of SVGs throughout my page. If authors visit the Assets page Locomotive crashes. It seems that Locomotive tries to resize the images and completely freezes. See this screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gitjbgk9_EbZYUhvOdXmkd7PAFVAjYEt/view?usp=sharing

Hi! I recently discovered Locomotive CMS and I'm quit happy with it. But I'm missing the option to define custom fields for all pages. (Every page has the fields, but they are individually per page) For Example: Every page should have an open graph image and an open graph description. (The authors should be allowed to edit them) It there a way to define metafields per page? It would be nice to define own tabs, additionally to content, settings and seo. Another solution would be to create own SEO fields. Thanks in Advance

For our lazy loading script, it would be nice to allow any HTML attributes in the WISIWYG editor (the editor seems to cut any attributes that aren't whitelisted). For example, we'd like to be able to save an image tag like ``` <img data-lazy="some/url"> ``` Has anyone made this happen?

It seems Locomotive accepts public submission POST requests of any content type to any path. Is there a way to change this behavior so that form submissions only work with the public submission url (/entry_submissions/<content type slug>)? This way, we can easily lock out spam bots which don't run javascript.

We have a website www.strykercare.com.au which is not currently letting us access the back-end to update content (vial www.strykercare.com.au/locomotive) It has also suddenly stopped allowing customers to register and gain access to login-only content, and as I am unable to access the back-end I cannot diagnose this problem.
