Recently I was working with Ruby on Rails 7 and needed to do an API requests from javascript to my ROR backend. In the past I choose [axios](https://github.com/axios/axios) for that and still, I decided to use it (as I don't yet know Turbo).
The feature was to check if user exists in the DB from the modal.
After ./bin/importmap pin axios and building the stimulus controller I got an error in a browser:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading
'FormData at index.js:162:32
I started to google, and search on stackoverflow for the solution but could not find anything useful.
After few minutes ... without any success I just decided to experiment with different versions of axios and guess what...turns out that the version 0.27.2 was working as expected
After pinning the version 0.27.2
./bin/importmap pin axios@0.27.2
The AJAX request worked like charm! I'm sharing this here, as You might find it useful!
The longer read you can find on medium
All the best!
