Cannot post images for lacking getBoundary function

[NoodleHJ]

Hi, Im using trying to post image with node-fetch. But it does not has getBoundary function, so node-fetch will consider it as normal text. Does anyone know how to tackle this issue?

FYI: node-fetch @2.6.1 & formdata-node@^5.0.1

Node-fetch v3 supports this spec compatible FormData implementation.

In v3 we decided to remove support for form-data package that relied on getBoundary and other non spec related stuff

Updating to v3 could be one option. Then it will also ship with a built in FormData that is also exported without any additional dependencies.

Alternative is to just update NodeJS to v18+ that now also have FormData and fetch built right in. So no dependencies are no longer needed

To post images from files use the new fs.openAsBlob

If you are using formdata-node v5, you probably can upgrade node-fetch to v3. As previous commenter said - it has support for spec-compliant form-data implementations. The getBoundary method is specific to form-data package and it's not standard, so I won't support it.

If for some reason you need node-fetch v2, try form-data-encoder - it will perform multipart/form-data encoding for you.

I'm closing this issue assuming your question is addressed.
