get-form-data's Issues

Option to inclue disabled elements

I have an use case here where I still would like to have form data from disabled inputs as well. Possible to add this within a new option?

type "booleam"

Return null when elementName is falsey

First off, great lib - thanks for making it!

I think this lib could be better if it simply ommitted inputs when the elementName is null or empty. As it is today, it will raise an exception and kill the entire form scraping process.

Some possible solutions: getNamedFormElementData() could be made to return null instead of throwing an error when elementName is falsey, OR getFormData() could skip the call to getNamedFormElementData() whenever the current iteration's elementName is falsey.

Type definitions

It would be nice if there were typescript definitions for this module. I'm currently using a custom definition in my project:

type FormData = Record<string, boolean | string | string[] | File | File[]>
declare module 'get-form-data'; {
  function getFormData(form: React.EventTarget): FormData;
  export default getFormData;
}

Checkbox boolean value?

How to get boolean values instead 'on'/'off'

Maximum call stack error?

document is not defined

var form = document.querySelector('#productForm')

executing the above line gives the following error:

TypeError: document.querySelector is not a function

How to use this on angular 5+?

i am trying to use import getFormData but i could not find the reference?

Return File objects for <input type="file">

An Array of Files if it has multiple, the first File otherwise

This would also obviate the need for a small part of the FileField specific changes happening for insin/newforms#61

Rename getNamedFormElementData to getFieldData

it's very accurate, but what a keyboardful!

Deprecate getNamedFormElementData in the next 1.x minor release and remove it in 2.x.

Different data on IE11 and Chrome

I am getting different form data on both IE and Chrome. On IE11, the form data is incorrect
