Sending a form using the FormData object – JavaScript Tutorial

I was only looking for a way to debug my FormData object. You showed not only that but how to formulate a request and receive a response. This is a great help, as I am not that familiar with JavaScript.

Thanks for that bit about how if a form field lacks the name attribute the FormData object won't include it. Couldn't solve that little mystery, much appreciated!

Great tutorial man, wonderfull to watch,
If I may one question,
Where exactly in the code you insert the user file?
it seems like in row number 44 in "file.files[0]", you just get the location of where to store the file in the object formData..but inserting the file itself that the user gave

Hello sir I was stuck in changing the object into FormData. I created the object of FormData and append the key values. but the formdata object is empty. would you like to guide me? I have also searched from many resources but still the error is not resolved.

How was the server made or was it nodejs?

When i send the form with images it gives me this error unsupported media

Set a variable to [...formData].

In the latest version of node, node 18.x.x. is on my machine and formData wasn't iterable. I had to set it to a variable `let formValues = [...formData];` wish I understood it better. Okay on to the next thing.

Gg yall, comment.
