How to add more key/value pairs to JSON formData after it has been declared

Question

I have this ajax formData:

data.formData = {action : 'process_uploads',filetitle : newtitle, filehash : file_hash, aspect : aspect, uploadlanguage : uploadlanguage, thefilesize : data.files[0].size};

I need to append more keys/values after this has already been declared AND submitted so I can submit it again. How can I do that?

i.e.

//declare original data
data.formData = {action : 'process_uploads',filetitle : newtitle, filehash : file_hash, aspect : aspect, uploadlanguage : uploadlanguage, thefilesize : data.files[0].size};

//submit form and gather result on success
var jqXHR = data.submit().success(function(result, textStatus, jqXHR){

  var json = JSON.parse(result);



  if(json.files[0].hash != file_hash ){

//NEED TO ADD MORE VARIABLES AND SUBMIT AGAIN

data.formData.retryfile = '1';
data.formData.hash = 'file_hash';
//this isn't working.


     data.submit();

}

Try:

let jsonData =  {action : 'process_uploads',filetitle : newtitle, filehash : file_hash, aspect : aspect, uploadlanguage : uploadlanguage, thefilesize : data.files[0].size};
jsonData.newfield =1;

console.log(jsonData);
data.formData = jsonData;

OR using Object.assign

let infoA = {action : 'process_uploads'};
let infoB = {newfield:'1'};


let jsonData = Object.assign(infoA, infoB);
console.log(jsonData);
data.formData = jsonData;

In your updated code:

//declare original data
var jsonData = {action : 'process_uploads',filetitle : newtitle, filehash : file_hash, aspect : aspect, uploadlanguage : uploadlanguage, thefilesize : data.files[0].size};
data.formData = jsonData;

//submit form and gather result on success
var jqXHR = data.submit().success(function(result, textStatus, jqXHR){

  var json = JSON.parse(result);


  var status = json['status'];


  if(json.files[0].hash != file_hash ){

   //NEED TO ADD MORE VARIABLES AND SUBMIT AGAIN

   jsonData.retryfile = '1';
   jsonData.hash = 'file_hash';

   data.formData = jsonData;

   data.submit();

}

Here you are appending it before data.formData has been declared. I need to add it after it has been declared already and previously submitted.

You can define jsonData at any moment, and set to "data.formData" whenever you want.

Can you swap infoB with data.formData?

Mate Over a year ago

yes, you could swap or add more obj... Object.assign{{}, infoA , data.formData , {another:'x'} } ;

I updated it to make it more clear what I am trying to do.
