Sending POST Requests with Playwright

When sending a POST request with Playwright, you can pass the data object in a few ways.

JSON Data

If your data is an object, Playwright will serialize it to a JSON string and set the content-type header to application/json. Here's how you can do it:

await request.post('https://ray.run/api/createBook', {
  data: {
    title: 'Book Title',
    author: 'John Doe',
  }
});

Form Data

If you need to send form data, use the form option. The data will be encoded with application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoding.

await request.post('https://ray.run/api/findBook', {
  form: {
    title: 'Book Title',
    author: 'John Doe',
  }
});

File Upload

For file uploads, use the multipart option. Provide an object with file information like name, mime type, and content.

await request.post('https://ray.run/api/uploadFile', {
  multipart: {
    file1: fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file1.txt'),
    file2: fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file2.txt'),
  }
});

Remember, the data and form options were added in Playwright version 1.17, and the multipart option in version 1.26. Make sure your Playwright version supports these options.
