Issue with FormData Methods in Cloudflare Workers

[pine hornet]

I am currently developing an API using Cloudflare Workers and have encountered a technical issue with handling FormData objects. Specifically, I am unable to use the form.getBuffer() and form.getBoundary() methods as they are seemingly not recognized as functions. Here is the relevant part of my code:

const form = new FormData();
form.append("manifest", JSON.stringify(manifest), {
  contentType: "application/json",
  header: {
    "content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    ...(signature ? { "expo-signature": signature } : {}),
  },
});
form.append("extensions", JSON.stringify({ assetRequestHeaders }), {
  contentType: "application/json",
});

return c.newResponse(form.getBuffer(), {
  status: 200,
  headers: {
    "expo-protocol-version": protocolVersion.toString(),
    "expo-sfv-version": "0",
    "cache-control": "private, max-age=0",
    "content-type": `multipart/mixed; boundary=${form.getBoundary()}`,
  },
});

Upon attempting to execute this, I receive the following errors:

• TypeError: form.getBuffer is not a function
• TypeError: form.getBoundary is not a function

Could you please advise on how to correctly implement these methods, or suggest an alternative approach to handle multipart/form-data in Cloudflare Workers? Your guidance on how to properly structure this type of request would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

what is ur wrangler.toml

neither .getBuffer() nor .getBoundary() are part of the JS standard

you can just do c.newResponse(form and it will set the body and content-type automatically

My setup is shown below.

name = "cashplan-app-updates"
compatibility_date = "2023-12-01"
compatibility_flags = [ "nodejs_compat" ]

# [vars]
# MY_VAR = "my-variable"

# [[kv_namespaces]]
# binding = "MY_KV_NAMESPACE"
# id = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

[[r2_buckets]]
binding = "R2"
bucket_name = "cashplan-app-updates"
preview_bucket_name = "preview-cashplan-app-updates"

# [[d1_databases]]
# binding = "DB"
# database_name = "my-database"
# database_id = ""

# [ai]
# binding = "AI"

I cannot directly pass FormData as the first parameter to c.newResponse. The TypeScript error indicates there's no overload that matches this call. The errors are as follows:

1. For the overload (data: Data | null, status?: StatusCode | undefined, headers?: HeaderRecord | undefined): Response, the error states:

   • Argument of type 'FormData' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Data | null'.
   • The type 'FormData' is missing several properties required by the type 'ReadableStream<any>', such as 'locked', 'cancel', 'getReader', 'pipeThrough', and three more properties.

2. For the overload (data: Data | null, init?: ResponseInit | undefined): Response, the same type mismatch issue arises, where 'FormData' is not considered assignable to 'Data | null'.

Here is the NewResponse interface declaration for clarity:

interface NewResponse {
    (data: Data | null, status?: StatusCode, headers?: HeaderRecord): Response;
    (data: Data | null, init?: ResponseInit): Response;
}

im assuming c is the hono context?

anyway, just create your own response then
