How to get HTML form values with JavaScript?
To get HTML form values with JavaScript, we use the FormData constructor with the form element.
For instance, we write
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const formData = new FormData(e.target);
const formProps = Object.fromEntries(formData);
};
to create the handleSubmit function that calls e.preventDefault to prevent the default server side submission behavior.
Then we create a FormData object with e.target.
And then we convert the formData object that has the form values to an object with Object.fromEntries.

To get HTML form values with JavaScript, we use the FormData constructor with the form element.
