form-serializer

A Simple jQuery plug-in that helps serializing the forms in better yet simplest way possible.

Note: Incase when there is multiple form elements are selected, it will only serialize the first form element.

Usages:

1. serialize()

2. populate()

serialize()

Get form data as JSON Object (by passing type as json).

	$('#formId').serialize('json');

Get form as Query String.

	$('#formId').serialize();  //same as jQuery's $('#formId').serialize()

But if you pass type as queryString

	$('#formId').serialize('queryString');

then Instead of this kind of Query String:

	hobby=football&hobby=tennis  //output of $('#formId').serialize()

it will return this:

	hobby=football,tennis  //output of $('#formId').serialize('queryString')

You can also set custom elements selector inside a Form.

	//serialize only `input` tags' value
	$('#formId').serialize({type: 'queryString', inputSelector: 'input'}); 

	//serialize only `input` tags' value which has type="text"
	$('#formId').serialize({type: 'queryString', inputSelector: 'input[type="text"]'}); 

You can also serialize disabled elements by setting serializeDisabled as true.

	$('#formId').serialize({type: 'queryString', serializeDisabled: true}); 

populate()

Populate/Fill Form with JSON Object

	$('#formId').populate(jsonObject);

Populate/Fill Form with QueryString Object

	$('#formId').populate(queryString);

You can pass inputSelector to populate custom selected elements.

	$('#formId').populate(queryString, {inputSelector: "input[type='text']"});

If you have multiple values in comma separated manner in query param (e.g. Serialized with $('#formId').serialize('queryString')), you need set separateMultiParam option to true for populate() to work.

	$('#formId').populate(queryString, {separateMultiParam: true});
