Draft
This page is not complete.
The formData() method of the Body mixin takes a Response stream and reads it to completion. It returns a promise that resolves with a FormData object.
Note: This is mainly relevant to service workers. If a user submits a form and a service worker intercepts the request, you could for example call formData() on it to obtain a key-value map, modify some fields, then send the form onwards to the server (or use it locally.)
Syntax
response.formData().then(function(formdata) {
// do something with your formdata
});
Parameters
None.
Returns
A promise that resolves with a FormData object.
Example
TBD.
