My goal is to create field in formData
which contains array of File
objects
My code (with example of output in console):
const onChange = (e) => {
const files = e.target.files // contains FileList itself
console.log(files) // FileList {0: File, 1: File, length: 2}
.....
var _formData = new FormData();
var filesArr = Array.from(files) // try to cast FileList to Array type
console.log(filesArr) // (2) [File, File]
formData.append("files", filesArr)
for (var value of _formData.entries()) {
console.log(value[0], ',', value[1], ',', typeof (value[1]));
// files , [object File],[object File] , string
}
The problem is that I receive object File
with type string
instead of needed array of files (objects). Are there any ways how can it be casted?
According to MDN, If the field value is different than String or Blob it will be automatically converted to String. because this type of field is always a string.
