Netlify: No Form Submission Action + Form Submit JS Actions

Support
13

To make more explicit some of the “gotchas” here for people who may find this issue in the future:

  • make sure you have the correct Content-Type header for your form submissions (if you’re using forms to submit files, the header is different than it is for text data)
  • you can’t send the FormData Javascript instance directly as the body of your POST; you have to encode it as a query string using the URLSearchParams constructor or an encoding function that you write yourself
  • you have to have an action attribute in your HTML form element, and the first argument of your fetch function has to match that attribute

Thanks again, @MyManVan!
