22680 2013-07-15 23:47:56 +0000 forms: Make FormData expose its contents 2014-05-16 11:16:18 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified WHATWG HTML unspecified Other other RESOLVED DUPLICATE 23211 P3 enhancement Needs Impl Interest 1 ian ian annevk arun ian mike contributor oldest_to_newest 90768 0 ian 2013-07-15 23:47:56 +0000 Right now there's no easy way to walk a <form>'s form data set. Extending FormData to actually expose the form data seems like the obvious choice. 90769 1 ian 2013-07-15 23:49:29 +0000 See also: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FormData 90801 2 arun 2013-07-16 16:32:15 +0000 Bug 20887 proposes to add a File constructor. If we did, it seems like you could walk a <form>'s form data set, extract file data, and use it to create a File object. Should there be a more intuitive connection between File and FormData? 90825 3 ian 2013-07-16 23:13:39 +0000 Arun, can you elaborate? I'm not sure I follow. 92096 4 arun 2013-08-15 16:43:24 +0000 (Sorry for the tardy response: I was on vacation). I've mulled this over, and think a File constructor is sufficient; Bug 20887 now has some spec. text in place, and should hopefully come as no surprise: var f = new File(myBlob, "fooBarFile"); There shouldn't be too many other requirements that FormData has on File, so Comment 2 was out of turn I think. 92679 5 annevk 2013-08-28 08:50:16 +0000 See also bug 20038 by the way. 93212 6 annevk 2013-09-10 16:58:16 +0000 The other bug is fixed now. But since JavaScript has no iterators yet there's no way to iterate FormData thus far... Not sure if we want to keep this bug open for that or not. Once iterators are there we'll update a whole bunch of objects I think. 106109 7 ian 2014-05-15 22:43:38 +0000 Anne, should this bug be yours at this point, since you own that API? 106152 8 annevk 2014-05-16 11:16:18 +0000 It already exposes contents, but iterating over the contents is awaiting some new IDL sugar. Let's just dupe this against that remaining bit. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 23211 ***
