- Description:
- Creates a new FormData instance. This function initializes a FormData object that can be used to append fields and files for HTTP requests. It provides a simple interface for constructing multipart/form-data requests, which is commonly used for file uploads and form submissions. It allows developers to easily add data to the form, including text fields and binary files, and retrieve the necessary headers for sending the form data in HTTP requests.
Example
const form = formdata.create();
form.append('name', 'Gingee App Server');
form.append('description', 'This is the Gingee mascot.');
form.append('image', fs.readFileSync(fs.BOX, './images/gingee.png'), 'gingee.png');
const headers = form.getHeaders();Returns:
