Append string as file upload using FormData

ajax, form-data, javascript

Solution

works fine for me

const blob = new Blob(['blah blah\nsecond line'], {type : 'text/plain'})
formData.append('file', blob, 'file.txt')

Problem

I was wondering if I can upload string as file using form data. I believe there should be some `File` object, that can have `value`, `filename` and maybe also `mime-type` set. Pseudo code: ``` var file = new File(); file.name = "file.txt"; file.mimeType = "text/plain"; file.value = "blah blah\nsecond line"; var data = new FormData(); data.append(file); ```
