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();
