why does formidable 'multiple' select not work with 'multipart/form-data'?

I have tried many ways to parse 'multiple' select options as an array from a from with enctype='multipart/form-data' but it only shows the last selected item.

I want to upload files and a select input with multiple='multiple', but it seems like with formidable I can only afford one of them. Formidable retrieves the select input fine with a normal form, but only the last one with multipart form.

Anybody knows a workaround with that problem?

Solution

  • package.json

    {
  ...
  "dependencies": {
    "formidable": "^2.0.1"
  }
}

    index.js

    const formidable    = require('formidable')

const form = formidable({ multiples: true });

    Example: select multiple
