Will iron-form ever support multipart/form-data? #63

Closed dman777 closed 7 years ago

Hi,

I imagine you been super busy with Polymer 2.0. Thanks for doing such great work on 2.0 and 1.0!

The initial request for multipart/form-data support in iron-form was 2 years ago. The pre-submit workaround is ok in some circumstances, but since it overwrites pre-existing data in the form it's creates havoc in other circumstances.

Can this be made a priority? It's been 2 years since it's initial request and it's common to have users post images with forms?

Thanks, -Darin

Unfortunately, I haven't prioritized it for now -- in 2.0 iron-form has to change completely (because type extensions are gone), and it's not ready as it is, so adding more features to it is unlikely 😢

If that's important for you, I recommend forking it and adding the features you need, or if you wait until 2.0, you can inherit from the new IronForm and add the features then.

Sorry I don't have a better answer. Making a form that works for everyone and works in the same way as the native <form> everyone is used to is actually really hard 😵
