A simple plugin for [Fastify][fastify] that adds a content type parser for
the content type `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.
[fastify]: https://www.fastify.io/
This branch targets Fastify v4. Please refer to [this branch](https://github.com/fastify/fastify-formbody/tree/3.x) and related versions for Fastify `^2.0.0` compatibility.
For Fastify v3 support, please use @fastify/formbody `^6.0.1`.
## Example
Given the following code:
```js
const fastify = require('fastify')()
fastify.register(require('@fastify/formbody'))
fastify.post('/', (req, reply) => {
reply.send(req.body)
})
fastify.listen({ port: 8000 }, (err) => {
if (err) throw err
})
```
And a `POST` body of:
```html
foo=foo&bar=bar&answer=42
```
The sent reply would be the object:
```js
{
foo: 'foo',
bar: 'bar',
answer: 42
}
```
## Options
The plugin accepts an options object with the following properties:
+ `bodyLimit`: The maximum amount of bytes to process
before returning an error. If the limit is exceeded, a `500` error will be
returned immediately. When set to `undefined` the limit will be set to whatever
is configured on the parent Fastify instance. The default value is
whatever is configured in
[fastify](https://github.com/fastify/fastify/blob/main/docs/Reference/Server.md#bodylimit)
(`1048576` by default).
+ `parser`: The default parser used is the querystring.parse built-in. You can change this default by passing a parser function e.g. `fastify.register(require('@fastify/formbody'), { parser: str => myParser(str) })`
## Upgrading from 4.x
Previously, the external [qs lib](https://github.com/ljharb/qs) was used that did things like parse nested objects. For example:
- ***Input:*** `foo[one]=foo&foo[two]=bar`
- ***Parsed:*** `{ foo: { one: 'foo', two: 'bar' } }`
The way this is handled now using the built-in querystring.parse:
- ***Input:*** `foo[one]=foo&foo[two]=bar`
- ***Parsed:*** `{ 'foo[one]': 'foo', 'foo[two]': 'bar' }`
If you need nested parsing, you must configure it manually by installing the qs lib (`npm i qs`), and then configure an optional parser:
```js
const fastify = require('fastify')()
const qs = require('qs')
fastify.register(require('@fastify/formbody'), { parser: str => qs.parse(str) })
```
