FormData polyfill for Web Workers.

html5-formdata-polyfilll.js

/*
 * FormData for XMLHttpRequest 2  -  Polyfill for Web Worker
 * (c) 2014 Rob Wu <[email protected]>
 * License: MIT
 * - append(name, value[, filename])
 * - XMLHttpRequest.prototype.send(object FormData)
 * 
 * Specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#formdata
 *                http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#the-send-method
 * The .append() implementation also accepts Uint8Array and ArrayBuffer objects
 * Web Workers do not natively support FormData:
 *                http://dev.w3.org/html5/workers/#apis-available-to-workers
 * Originally released in 2012 as a part of http://stackoverflow.com/a/10002486.
 * Updates since initial release:
 * - Forward-compatibility by testing whether FormData exists before defining it.
 * - Increased robustness of .append.
 * - Allow any typed array in .append.
 * - Remove use of String.prototype.toString to work around a Firefox bug.
 * - Use typed array in xhr.send instead of arraybuffer to get rid of deprecation
 *   warnings.

can u send me how to use formdata-polyfill in react js components and send that formdata object to worker.js.

I got an Error in Console, it says ReferenceError: FileReaderSync is not defined

@349989153 This polyfill only works in web workers (WebWorker, SharedWorker), not service workers or regular web pages. But in the latter case (regular web pages), the FormData API should already be available, and the polyfill should return early without any changes.
