Question

I have a form data like this

var formData = new FormData($(this)[0]); 

(inside a on submit fonction)

I would like to get the value of a parameter inside this formData.
For example in a sign up form,

formData.name

It’s undefined.

Thanks !

FormData is a ‘one way’ object to prepare a request. You can only append data. If you want to get data from a specific field in the form, you will need to use val() like this:

$('input[name="your-field-name"]', this).val(); // where this is the context (your form)
