I am trying to send an object that contains attached files to server. Before calling the HTTP method, the object is populated with the attached files

   createIncident(data: any) {
        console.log(data)
        return instance.post(`v2/newIncident`, data).then(response => response)
    },

but in the request payload, the object is empty - why are the objects empty when I send them?

Do you need to send them as JSON? – evolutionxbox Mar 11 '22 at 08:12
File objects can't be serialized to JSON in the major browsers (at time of writing). Probably for security reasons. – fredrik Mar 11 '22 at 08:18
