javascript get a query string that a form will submit
If you have a form, like
<form id='testform' method="post" action="/" />
<input name="test1" value="yes" type="text">
<input name="test2" value="no" type="text">
</form>
Is there a way to get the query string that this form would submit? (without knowing anything about what fields are inside it) test1=yes&test2=no or just the same thing in json format?
I am using selenium, so could do it either on the selenium side run javascript in the browser.
const form = await driver.findElement(By.id('testform'));
.. now do something in selenium to find out the request post request
or in the browser
const form = document.getElementById('testform');
... somehow get the query string or request info
any ideas?

Do you actually need the string of data or just to send it somewhere, eg through ajax? If the latter you can use FormData to grab all of a form's input fields and send through ajax directly

Do you want just a string from all input fieldsname-valuepairs?

I'm need it in selenium, but so if selenium had a way to do it that would be best, but if there is a way to get it in the browser, I can just useexecuteScript.

Thanks Patrick,
const formFields = await driver.executeScript('return Array.from(new FormData(document.getElementById("testform")))');
works great.
I guess if anybody needs to do this without selenium it's just
Array.from(new FormData(document.getElementById("testform")))
or look at the other ways you can cycle through the FormData object.
Then you can turn that into a query string if that is what you need.
