Can be used to submit forms and file uploads to other web applications. + +The API of this library is inspired by the [XMLHttpRequest-2 FormData Interface][xhr2-fd]. + +[xhr2-fd]: http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest-2/Overview.html#the-formdata-interface + +[](https://travis-ci.org/form-data/form-data) +[](https://travis-ci.org/form-data/form-data) +[](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/alexindigo/form-data) + +[](https://coveralls.io/github/form-data/form-data?branch=master) +[](https://david-dm.org/form-data/form-data) +[](https://www.bithound.io/github/form-data/form-data) + +## Install + +``` +npm install --save form-data +``` + +## Usage + +In this example we are constructing a form with 3 fields that contain a string, +a buffer and a file stream. + +``` javascript +var FormData = require('form-data'); +var fs = require('fs'); + +var form = new FormData(); +form.append('my_field', 'my value'); +form.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10)); +form.append('my_file', fs.createReadStream('/foo/bar.jpg')); +``` + +Also you can use http-response stream: + +``` javascript +var FormData = require('form-data'); +var http = require('http'); + +var form = new FormData(); + +http.request('http://nodejs.org/images/logo.png', function(response) { + form.append('my_field', 'my value'); + form.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10)); + form.append('my_logo', response); +}); +``` + +Or @mikeal's [request](https://github.com/request/request) stream: + +``` javascript +var FormData = require('form-data'); +var request = require('request'); + +var form = new FormData(); + +form.append('my_field', 'my value'); +form.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10)); +form.append('my_logo', request('http://nodejs.org/images/logo.png')); +``` + +In order to submit this form to a web application, call ```submit(url, [callback])``` method: + +``` javascript +form.submit('http://example.org/', function(err, res) { + // res – response object (http.IncomingMessage) // + res.resume(); +}); + +``` + +For more advanced request manipulations ```submit()``` method returns ```http.ClientRequest``` object, or you can choose from one of the alternative submission methods. + +### Custom options + +You can provide custom options, such as `maxDataSize`: + +``` javascript +var FormData = require('form-data'); + +var form = new FormData({ maxDataSize: 20971520 }); +form.append('my_field', 'my value'); +form.append('my_buffer', /* something big */); +``` + +List of available options could be found in [combined-stream](https://github.com/felixge/node-combined-stream/blob/master/lib/combined_stream.js#L7-L15) + +### Alternative submission methods + +You can use node's http client interface: + +``` javascript +var http = require('http'); + +var request = http.request({ + method: 'post', + host: 'example.org', + path: '/upload', + headers: form.getHeaders() +}); + +form.pipe(request); + +request.on('response', function(res) { + console.log(res.statusCode); +}); +``` + +Or if you would prefer the `'Content-Length'` header to be set for you: + +``` javascript +form.submit('example.org/upload', function(err, res) { + console.log(res.statusCode); +}); +``` + +To use custom headers and pre-known length in parts: + +``` javascript +var CRLF = '\r\n'; +var form = new FormData(); + +var options = { + header: CRLF + '--' + form.getBoundary() + CRLF + 'X-Custom-Header: 123' + CRLF + CRLF, + knownLength: 1 +}; + +form.append('my_buffer', buffer, options); + +form.submit('http://example.com/', function(err, res) { + if (err) throw err; + console.log('Done'); +}); +``` + +Form-Data can recognize and fetch all the required information from common types of streams (```fs.readStream```, ```http.response``` and ```mikeal's request```), for some other types of streams you'd need to provide "file"-related information manually: + +``` javascript +someModule.stream(function(err, stdout, stderr) { + if (err) throw err; + + var form = new FormData(); + + form.append('file', stdout, { + filename: 'unicycle.jpg', // ... or: + filepath: 'photos/toys/unicycle.jpg', + contentType: 'image/jpeg', + knownLength: 19806 + }); + + form.submit('http://example.com/', function(err, res) { + if (err) throw err; + console.log('Done'); + }); +}); +``` + +The `filepath` property overrides `filename` and may contain a relative path. This is typically used when uploading [multiple files from a directory](https://wicg.github.io/entries-api/#dom-htmlinputelement-webkitdirectory). + +For edge cases, like POST request to URL with query string or to pass HTTP auth credentials, object can be passed to `form.submit()` as first parameter: + +``` javascript +form.submit({ + host: 'example.com', + path: '/probably.php?extra=params', + auth: 'username:password' +}, function(err, res) { + console.log(res.statusCode); +}); +``` + +In case you need to also send custom HTTP headers with the POST request, you can use the `headers` key in first parameter of `form.submit()`: + +``` javascript +form.submit({ + host: 'example.com', + path: '/surelynot.php', + headers: {'x-test-header': 'test-header-value'} +}, function(err, res) { + console.log(res.statusCode); +}); +``` + +### Integration with other libraries + +#### Request + +Form submission using [request](https://github.com/request/request): + +```javascript +var formData = { + my_field: 'my_value', + my_file: fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/unicycle.jpg'), +}; + +request.post({url:'http://service.com/upload', formData: formData}, function(err, httpResponse, body) { + if (err) { + return console.error('upload failed:', err); + } + console.log('Upload successful! Server responded with:', body); +}); +``` + +For more details see [request readme](https://github.com/request/request#multipartform-data-multipart-form-uploads). + +#### node-fetch + +You can also submit a form using [node-fetch](https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch): + +```javascript +var form = new FormData(); + +form.append('a', 1); + +fetch('http://example.com', { method: 'POST', body: form }) + .then(function(res) { + return res.json(); + }).then(function(json) { + console.log(json); + }); +``` + +## Notes + +- ```getLengthSync()``` method DOESN'T calculate length for streams, use ```knownLength``` options as workaround. +- Starting version `2.x` FormData has dropped support for `node@0.10.x`. + +## License + +Form-Data is released under the [MIT](License) license. |
