Introducing the FormData Viewer Extension

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 ...

Conclusion
