Add Multipart Enctype To Forms With File Input

1.0.0Last update Dec 17, 2024

This codemod automatically adds the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute to forms containing file input fields. It ensures that forms with file inputs properly handle file uploads during non-JS submissions, which is a requirement for SvelteKit v2.

What it does

Transforms: It identifies forms that contain but lack the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute. Adds: The enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute to those forms.

Why it's necessary

If a form contains an element but does not specify enctype="multipart/form-data", non-JS submissions will omit the file. SvelteKit v2 enforces this requirement and will throw an error if a form like this is encountered during a use:enhance submission.

Example

Before

<form use:enhance={handleEnhance}>
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

After

<form use:enhance={handleEnhance} enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
