Using angular 4 to send form-data - forms

Question

Hi I'm building a WordPress theme and I need to use contact form 7 plugin on it, but I can't figure out the correct way to send the form data to the plugin.
here is my post service:
import {
Injectable
} from '#angular/core';
import {
HttpClient,
HttpHeaders
} from '#angular/common/http';
#Injectable()
export class FormsService {
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
postForm(url, form) {
return this.http.post(url, form, {
headers: new HttpHeaders().set('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data'),
})
}
}
and the component part that use the service:
onSubmit() {
const fd = new FormData();
fd.append('your-name', this.name);
fd.append('your-email', this.email);
fd.append('your-message', this.message);
fd.append('your-subject', this.sumbject);
const url = `/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/${this.form_id}/feedback`;
this.sendMsg.postForm(url, fd).subscribe(
data => {
console.log(data);
},
err => console.log({
error: err
})
)
this.submitted = true;
}
At this point the server response that the message was submitted ok, but when I go to the WP admin page, non of the field get the values.
But If I use postman with this url and params the form all works as I want.
I also found another solution that works but its not the angular way as I want to be.
the solution
onSubmit() {
const url = `/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/${this.form_id}/feedback`;
this.submitted = true;
}
sendData(url) {
let XHR = new XMLHttpRequest();
const FD = new FormData();
FD.append('your-name', this.name);
FD.append('your-email', this.email);
FD.append('your-message', this.message);
FD.append('your-subject', this.subject);
// Define what happens on successful data submission
XHR.addEventListener('load', function(event) {
alert('Yeah! Data sent and response loaded.');
});
// Define what happens in case of error
XHR.addEventListener('error', function(event) {
alert('Oups! Something went wrong.');
});
// Set up our request
XHR.open('POST', url);
// Send our FormData object; HTTP headers are set automatically
XHR.send(FD);
}

I found my solution, the problem was on the headers definitions of my service, the correct way is:
postForm(url, body) {
var headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/form-data');
return this.http.post(url, body, {headers: headers })
}
