Converting back to JSON

Is it possible to convert back to JSON from form data in node?

My use case is that I would like to assert the form data I have sent has been mapped correctly

I.E the flow is

JSON data > Mapped to correct structure > Form data created > Payload sent

This would then be used to perform tests like the code below demonstrate ( Nock will pass my the API calls payload automatically making these kind of tests very convenient )

expect(formPayload.products.length).toEqual(originalJSON.items.length)

If this library implemented the official FormData API specifications we would be able to iterate over instances and return key value pairs.

@alexindigo thanks for the information - the issue is I don’t have scope to the stream within my tests I just have a string which looks like the following

12312321
----------------------------584171990226462722659061
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="city"

----------------------------584171990226462722659061
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="zipcode"

10010
----------------------------584171990226462722659061
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="address"

Test
----------------------------584171990226462722659061
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="streetNumber"

55

Do you know if I can convert this without writing some hacky parser myself?

At the minute i’m just doing some nasty

	expect(body).toMatch('storeOid');
	expect(body).toMatch(config.parameters.storeOid);

	expect(body).toMatch('externalStoreId');
	expect(body).toMatch(order.location.id.toString());

type assertions whereas i’d much rather be targeting specific nodes
