JarCastingserializeObject
Serializes a form (or a set of inputs) to an object. It uses FileReader and Deferred to serialize input[type="file"]
Usage
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.serializeObject.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$('form').on('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).serializeObject().done(function(o){
if(window.console) console.log(o);
// see the object in console
}).fail(function(e){
// consider to handle FileReader error
});
});
});
</script>
The result object is something like this
{
inputName: inputValue,
inputArray: [firstInputValue, secondInputValue, ...],
checkedCheckboxWithValue: checkboxValue,
checkedCheckboxWithoutValue: true,
uncheckedCheckboxWithoutValue: false,
fileInput: {
name: fileName,
type: mimeType,
size: fileSize,
data: dataBase64
},
fileInputArray: [{...}, {...}, ...]
}
Serialization rules
- Only inputs with name attribute are serialized
- Inputs with same name becomes an array (if more then one appears)
- Inputs with name ends with "[]" are forced to be serialized as array, even if single occurance
- Checkboxes with value attribute are serialzed only if checked
- Checkboxes without value attribute are serialzed as boolean, depends on checked state
- File inputs are serialized as objects with name, mime type, size and data as base64
- Multiple file inputs are serialized as arrays if more then one file or input name ends with "[]"
Requirements
- FileReader JavaScript API
- jQuery 1.5+
