jQuery.deserialize
$("form").deserialize(data[, options]);
Decodes serialized form data and populates the form with that data. This method works upon text strings in standard URL-encoded notation, arrays containing objects of name/value pairs or objects containing name/value pairs. Thus, the plugin is compatibile with the data collected using the following methods:
Install
Download as NPM module:
npm install jquery-deserialize
Download as Bower component:
bower install jquery-deserialize
Example
Populate a form on page load using query string parameters:
jQuery(function( $ ) {
$( 'form' ).deserialize( location.search.substr( 1 ) );
});Arguments
The plugin accepts two arguments: data and options, the latter being optional. Passing the complete() function as the second argument to this plugin is also supported.
- data String, Array, Object A serialized (and/or encoded) String, an Array of objects containing name/value pairs, or an object of name/value pairs.
- options Object An object of key/value pairs that configure the plugin.
- change Function Called for every changed input value.
- complete Function Called when all of the inputs have been updated.
- filter String|Function|Element|jQuery A custom filter to identify inputs to deserialize. By default, all inputs that are not disabled will be deserialized (this matches the behavior of serialization).
Requirements
jQuery.deserialize requires:
- jQuery version 1.4.3+ (A patch is available for versions 1.2+).
