Context#formParams("name") method return the list of form parameters by name.
Example
List<String> myHobbies = ctx.formParams("hobbies");
Find the below working application.
Step 1: Create new maven project ‘javalin-list-form-params-by-name’.
Step 2: Update pom.xml with maven dependencies.
pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

Step 3: Define JsonUtil class.
JsonUtil.java
package com.sample.app.util;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
public class JsonUtil {
public static String marshal(Object obj) throws JsonProcessingException {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
return mapper.writeValueAsString(obj);
}
public static <T> T unmarshal(Class<T> clazz, String json)
throws JsonParseException, JsonMappingException, IOException {
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
return (T) mapper.readValue(json, clazz);
}
}
Step 4: Define main application class.
App.java
package com.sample.app;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import com.sample.app.util.JsonUtil;
import io.javalin.Javalin;
import io.javalin.http.HttpStatus;
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Javalin javalin = Javalin.create();
javalin.get("/", (ctx) -> {
ctx.result("Welcome to Javalin programming!!!!");
});
javalin.post("/form-params-demo", (ctx) -> {
List<String> myHobbies = ctx.formParams("hobbies");
Map<String, Object> receivedData = new HashMap<>();
receivedData.put("hobbies", myHobbies);
ctx.result(JsonUtil.marshal(receivedData)).status(HttpStatus.CREATED);
});
javalin.start(8080);
}
}
Total project structure looks like below.
Build the project
Navigate to the folder, where pom.xml is located and execute the command ‘mvn package’.
Upon successful command execution, you can see a ‘javalin-list-form-params-by-name-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar’ file.
$ls ./target/
