form-data
A module to create readable `"multipart/form-data"` streams. Can be used to submit forms and file uploads to other web applications.
The release of Node v16.15.0 and v17.5.0 brought in the Fetch API and FormData. Before that, the node-fetch and form-data packages were used to use browser-like APIs in Node.js. To migrate node-fetch/form-data packages to Node.js native APIs, some changes can be made by removing import statements of 3rd-party packages, but there are important considerations to keep in mind when using Node.js features such as file system. This article outlines about migrating from node-fetch/form-data packages to Node.js native APIs.
