serialize.js

Serialize a form in JavaScript without external dependencies.

Notes

I have moved all of my work over to GitLab; you can find this project's new home at https://gitlab.com/bedmonds/serialize-js

Demo

Either open up demo/index.html locally or view an online demo at http://demo.bedmonds.net/serialize-js/

How does it work?

Include serialize.js, or paste its contents somewhere in your JS pipleine and go to town.

Just call the $serialize function with a form element as a parameter.

$serialize(formElement) // => queryString
$serialize(document.getElementById('myForm')) // => queryString

Or, by passing in an optional event from a button click, to add that buttons name and value pair to $serialize's output.

document.addEventListener(myFormButton, 'click', function(ev) {
  $serialize(myForm, ev);
})

Huzzah for not loading sixty megs of useless, mobile-battery-murdering libraries.
