how can I convert object to raw text?

Question

I need to send a request. If I have copied this request and executed on postman and it works. Postman is sending it as a raw. Is there anyway that I can convert my formData object to raw?

I tried to use the lib npm i form-urlencoded and encodeURI and both didnt work.

I need to convert object to raw type. How can I do it?

i think we have a option in postman to see the data as the raw data.. — prabhat mishra, Mar 28 '18 at 19:50
The problem is converting the object to raw type or to make the request? Because there are different things, if it is on request show us the `content-type` of the request. — BrTkCa, Mar 28 '18 at 19:55

There is no raw content-type.

I just tested the raw option in postman and send to a dummy netcat server.

The request arrived with Content-Type: text/plain;

If you need to send application/x-www-form-urlencoded then edit your object with following function example (from here):

serialize = function(obj) {
  var str = [];
  for (var p in obj)
    if (obj.hasOwnProperty(p)) {
      str.push(encodeURIComponent(p) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(obj[p]));
    }
  return str.join("&");
}

I also tried to use `JSON.stringify` but its does not convert to raw ): – Tiago Castro Mar 28 '18 at 19:49
where are you sending the request and what content-type did you specify? – Kristianmitk Mar 28 '18 at 19:53
the content type in the header should be `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` . I copie this request and import in postman, when I run there it works and it says that it have to be send as a raw – Tiago Castro Mar 28 '18 at 20:00
