使用 vuejs 或 vuex 提交表单时，formdata.append 不起作用

Question

I do have this form and i have another component that use vue2-dropzone to upload files. When choosing the files the $store state uploads will be updated. My issue is when am submiting the form so the FormData not sending the files. formdata.append not working. I do check under.networks and i can see that formdata is equal to {}. What i did for wrong please.

Answer 1

If you want multiple files in an array like that, you have to append the exact field name each time. Don't add the index and you don't need the brackets:

formData.append('files[' + i + ']', file); // ❌ Wrong

formData.append('files', file); // ✅ Correct, use the same name each time

When you axios.post , the formData should be the 2nd argument:

const url = 'http://test.local/wp-json/mytestapi/submitTodo';
axios.post(url, formData, {
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'
    }
})
