Encodes a set of form elements as an `object`.
- Use the `FormData` constructor to convert the HTML `form` to `FormData` and `Array.from()` to convert to an array.
- Collect the object from the array using `Array.prototype.reduce()`.
```js
const formToObject = form =>
Array.from(new FormData(form)).reduce(
(acc, [key, value]) => ({
...acc,
[key]: value
}),
{}
);
```
```js
formToObject(document.querySelector('#form'));
// { email: 'test@email.com', name: 'Test Name' }
```
