Send multipart/form-data with axios in nodejs

From the documentation of axios it seems that nodejs doesn’t natively support FormData objects

// data is the data to be sent as the request body // Only applicable for request methods 'PUT', 'POST', and 'PATCH' // When no transformRequest is set, must be of one of the following types: // - string, plain object, ArrayBuffer, ArrayBufferView, URLSearchParams // - Browser only: FormData, File, Blob // - Node only: Stream data: { firstName: 'Fred' },

So if I want to use axios in a jasmine test running with nodejs, then how would I go ahead and post a multipart/formdata object to a website?

Thanks for your help…

You can do it manually in Node.js but we don’t support it natively in axios for the moment.

For people like me who google and end up here without having a hint on how to do this manually in nodejs, I wrote a small example using the form-data package.
