FormData is an amazing API to handle forms.
It allows a simple peeking into the forms as well by generating formData for already existing forms.
We had talked about using FormData API to handle forms in this post: FormData API: Handle Forms like Boss 😎
Later than that, we saw some nifty examples of file upload to Firebase and PHP Backend with the help of FormData API.
Here I am introducing the FormData Viewer Extension; an extension for Chromium-based browsers like Google Chrome, Brave, Opera, IE Edge built with Chromium, etc.
Features
With this extension you can inspect the following:
- Filled or UnFilled form and it's fields
- Find all the forms in the page named or unnamed
- No need to submit the form and inspect the Networks Panel in DevTools
Possibilities
Future possibilities with the extension can be the following:
- Access to this info form DevTools Panels or Omnibox
- Information about the Form submit URL
- and many more ...
The extension is opensource itself and can be found at https://github.com/pankajpatel/FormData-viewer-extension
