How to add form elements to a macro?

Question

I would like to implement a macro (by implementing a plugin) that does the following:

* I embed the macro on a page.
* The macro renders one or more form elements and a "Submit" button.
* When the submit button is pressed, some macro functionality is called, that allows the macro to render additional content (or to change existing content) in the page.

I know that I could implement a Javascript solution to that, but is there already support in the plugin development in Confluence? I have seen a lot of macros that do similar things, but there is no source code available.

So the macro page-tree (with search box) is an example how that should work. I would be glad if anyone would have links to resources:

* Example implementations including sources (to get ideas from)
* Tutorials that have as part that
* Official documentation (did not find anything in https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev)

Thanks @Zoriana Bogutska_Kolekti , I've used Forms for Confluence extensively and highly recommend it.

Alternatively, for this case user can try plugins from the marketplace. One of them is Forms for Confluence. There are a few different form macros (conditional fields, form page) that can create different behaviours depending on what input is received.

Also, the server version of Content Formatting Macros for Confluence offers a lot of macros that you can try for your case.

Both apps are developed by my team, so if you have any questions - let me know.
