json-pointer-form-object

This library allows you to convert FormData into a JSON object using JSON Pointer syntax. It simplifies the process of mapping form data to structured JSON, making it easier to handle and manipulate form submissions in web applications.

Features:

- Easy Conversion: Convert FormData directly into a JSON object.
- JSON Pointer Syntax: Use JSON Pointer to define the structure and hierarchy of the JSON object.
- Flexible Mapping: Supports complex nested objects and arrays.

Install

``bash
$ npm install json-pointer-form-object
`

Usage Example

`typescript
import { convertFormDataToJson } from "json-pointer-form-object";
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('user/name', 'John Doe');
formData.append('user/email', 'john.doe@example.com');
formData.append('preferences/language', 'en');

const jsonObject = convertFormDataToJson(formData);
console.log(jsonObject);
// Output:
// {
// "user": {
// "name": "John Doe",
// "email": "john.doe@example.com"
// },
// "preferences": {
// "language": "en"
// }
// }
`

This library is particularly useful for developers working with complex form structures and needing to maintain a consistent and organized JSON format.


`typescript
import { formToObject } from "json-pointer-form-object";
const source =
Name:

Address:

;
const formElement = document.createElement("form");
formElement.innerHTML = source;
console.log(formToObject(formElement)); // { name: "Name!!!", address: "Address!!" }
`

`typescript
import { formToObject } from "json-pointer-form-object";
const source =




;
const formElement = document.createElement("form");
formElement.innerHTML = source;
console.log(formToObject(formElement)); // { "items": { string: "string", number: 123, boolean: true, date: Date } }
`

`jsx
import * as React from "react";
import { formToObject } from "json-pointer-form-object";

const Form = () => {
const handleSubmit = React.useCallback((e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const data = formToObject(e.target);
