jquery-serializeFields

jQuery plugin to serialize form elements into a json object using <fieldset> elements.

How to use

Form:

<form id="form1">
    <input type="text" name="username" value="my user name" />

    <fieldset name="address">
        <input type="text" name="street" value="654, test street" />
        <input type="text" name="country" value="Brazil" />
    </fieldset>

    <fieldset name="contact">
        <input type="text" name="email" value="[email protected]" />
        <fieldset name="phones">
            <input type="text" name="primary" value="+55 51 123456789" />
            <input type="text" name="mobile" value="+55 51 987654987" />
        </fieldset>
    </fieldset>

    <input type="submit" />
</form>

Code:

$(document).ready(() => {
    $("#form1").submit(event => {
        event.preventDefault()

        let data = $("#form1").serializeFields()
        console.log(JSON.stringify(data))
    })
})

Result:

{
    "username": "my user name",
    "address": {
        "street": "654, test street",
        "country": "Brazil"
    },
    "contact": {
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "phones": {
            "primary": "+55 51 123456789",
            "mobile": "+55 51 987654987"
        }
    }
}
