convert-form-data
This package can take any json object and convert it to FormData.
Usage
jsonToFormdata -
params: base_key, jsonObject, formDataObject
Output: FormData
Development Story
Previously we are using json to post the data to the server. But, when, we wanted to upload many images with the post data; it was not possible with json due to it's size limitation, so we had to use multi-part/form-data or FormData Object.
But when we needed to convert json to FormData Object, we had to assign value for every single key of json object, (dataForm.append(${key}, value) ) which is very time consuming.
For practical ussage, we have built this converter, to convert very large json object to FormData object, just by calling a function.
Example
const json_object = {
"users": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "John Doe",
"email": "john.doe@example.com",
"age": 30,
"address": {
"street": "123 Main Street",
"city": "New York",
"state": "NY",
"country": "USA"
},
"phone": "555-1234",
"profileImage": {
"filename": "example.jpg",
"data": "data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD..."
}
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Jane Smith",
"email": "jane.smith@example.com",
"age": 25,
"address": {
"street": "456 Elm Street",
"city": "Los Angeles",
"state": "CA",
"country": "USA"
},
"phone": "555-5678",
"profileImage": {
"filename": "example2.jpg",
"data": "data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD..."
}
}
// Add more users here...
// ...
// ...
// ...
]
}
import "jsonToFormdata" from "convert-form-data"
let dataForm = new FormData();
dataForm = jsonToFormdata("", json_object, dataForm);converting to FormData is as simple as that.
