I am building a Chrome extension that extracts user data from a registration form on a website. I have set up a listener to intercept the form data, but when I try to retrieve the user's first and last name using FormData, it returns "undefined".
Here's the relevant code:
manifest.json
{
"name": "My extension",
"version": "1.0",
"manifest_version": 2,
"description": "Extract user data from a registration form",
"permissions": [
"webRequest",
"<all_urls>",
"webRequestBlocking"
],
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"],
"persistent": true
}
}
background.js
chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(
function(details) {
if (details.url.includes("https://www.example.com/register/")) {
const form = new FormData(details.requestBody.formData);
const userFirstName = form.get('firstName');
const userLastName = form.get('LastName');
console.log(`First name: ${userFirstName}, Last name: ${userLastName}`);
}
},
{ urls: ["<all_urls>"], types: ["main_frame"] },
["requestBody"]
);
The Error from the console
I have confirmed that the listener is working and intercepting the form data, but I can't seem to retrieve the user's first and last name. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
