# FormData.get()

The **`get()`** method of the `FormData` interface returns the first value associated with a given key from within a `FormData` object. If you expect multiple values and want all of them, use the [`getAll()`](../../../globals/FormData/prototype/getAll.mdx) method instead.

## Syntax

```js
get(name)
```

### Parameters

- `name`
  - : The name of the key you want to retrieve.

### Return value

A `FormDataEntryValue` containing the value. If the key does not exist, it returns `null`.
