Stub TypeScript definitions entry for form-data, which provides its own types definitions
@types/form-data provides TypeScript type definitions for the form-data library, which is used to create and manipulate form data, especially for HTTP requests. It allows developers to handle form data in a type-safe manner.
Creating Form Data
This feature allows you to create a new FormData instance and append key-value pairs to it. This is useful for constructing form data to be sent in HTTP requests.
const FormData = require('form-data');
const form = new FormData();
form.append('my_field', 'my_value');
Appending Files
This feature allows you to append files to the form data. This is particularly useful for file upload scenarios where you need to send files as part of an HTTP request.
const fs = require('fs');
const FormData = require('form-data');
const form = new FormData();
form.append('file', fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file'));
Setting Headers
This feature allows you to get the headers that should be included in the HTTP request when sending the form data. This is important for ensuring that the server correctly interprets the form data.
const FormData = require('form-data');
const form = new FormData();
const headers = form.getHeaders();
The form-data package is the underlying library for which @types/form-data provides type definitions. It allows you to create and manipulate form data for HTTP requests. It is widely used in Node.js applications for handling multipart/form-data.
Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. It can handle form data by using the FormData API. While it is not specifically focused on form data, it provides a comprehensive solution for making HTTP requests, including handling form data.
The request package is a simplified HTTP client for Node.js. It can handle form data by using the form-data library internally. Although the request package is deprecated, it is still widely used in legacy codebases.
This is a stub types definition for @types/form-data (https://github.com/form-data/form-data#readme).
form-data provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/form-data installed!
