Class FormData

Provides a way to easily construct a set of key/value pairs representing form fields and their values, which can then be easily sent using fetch().

Note that this object is not a part of Node.js, so you might need to check if an HTTP client of your choice support spec-compliant FormData. However, if your HTTP client does not support FormData, you can use form-data-encoder package to handle "multipart/form-data" encoding.

Constructors

  • Parameters

    • Optional entries: FormDataConstructorEntries

    Returns FormData

Properties

#private: any

Accessors

  • get [toStringTag](): string
  • Returns string

Methods

  • Returns string

  • An alias for FormData#entries()

    Returns Generator<[string, FormDataEntryValue], any, unknown>

  • Appends a new value onto an existing key inside a FormData object, or adds the key if it does not already exist.

    The difference between set() and append() is that if the specified key already exists, set() will overwrite all existing values with the new one, whereas append() will append the new value onto the end of the existing set of values.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name of the field whose data is contained in value.

    • value: unknown

      The field's value. This can be Blob or File. If none of these are specified the value is converted to a string.

    • Optional fileName: string

      The filename reported to the server, when a Blob or File is passed as the second parameter. The default filename for Blob objects is "blob". The default filename for File objects is the file's filename.

    Returns void

  • Deletes a key and its value(s) from a FormData object.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name of the key you want to delete.

    Returns void

  • Returns an iterator allowing to go through the FormData key/value pairs. The key of each pair is a string; the value is a FormDataValue.

    Returns Generator<[string, FormDataEntryValue], any, unknown>

  • Executes given callback function for each field of the FormData instance

    Parameters

    • callback: ((value, key, form) => void)
        • (value, key, form): void
        • Parameters

          • value: FormDataEntryValue
          • key: string
          • form: FormData

          Returns void

    • Optional thisArg: unknown

    Returns void

  • Returns the first value associated with a given key from within a FormData object. If you expect multiple values and want all of them, use the getAll() method instead.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      A name of the value you want to retrieve.

    Returns null | FormDataEntryValue

    A FormDataEntryValue containing the value. If the key doesn't exist, the method returns null.

  • Returns all the values associated with a given key from within a FormData object.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      A name of the value you want to retrieve.

    Returns FormDataEntryValue[]

    An array of FormDataEntryValue whose key matches the value passed in the name parameter. If the key doesn't exist, the method returns an empty list.

  • Returns a boolean stating whether a FormData object contains a certain key.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      A string representing the name of the key you want to test for.

    Returns boolean

    A boolean value.

  • Returns an iterator allowing to go through all keys contained in this FormData object. Each key is a string.

    Returns Generator<string, any, unknown>

  • Set a new value for an existing key inside FormData, or add the new field if it does not already exist.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name of the field whose data is contained in value.

    • value: unknown

      The field's value. This can be Blob or File. If none of these are specified the value is converted to a string.

    • Optional fileName: string

      The filename reported to the server, when a Blob or File is passed as the second parameter. The default filename for Blob objects is "blob". The default filename for File objects is the file's filename.

    Returns void

  • Returns an iterator allowing to go through all values contained in this object FormData object. Each value is a FormDataValue.

    Returns Generator<FormDataEntryValue, any, unknown>

  • Parameters

    • value: unknown

    Returns value is FormData
