angular - How use formData.append for a array in typescript

Question

Hi i want to send a form to my endpoint Profile, my problem is in the field user:{}, because i can't find the way to put my array into this field.

this are the field in my endpoint:

{
  "id": 4,
  "ci": "123456",
  "photo": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/profiles/12809632_10208569440535095_617453747387788113_n_zAUAVMf.jpg",
  "phone_number": "+59177621589",
  "user": {
    "id": 5,
    "username": "sdanderson",
    "first_name": "ssss",
    "last_name": "ssss"
  },
  "experience": "null",
  "typeskill": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "skill_name": "developer"
    }
  ]
}

And here is my service for make a PUT request:

putProfile(id:string,token:string,body:any,files:any):Observable<Profile>{

//save data to send to the endpoint for update
    let formData: FormData = new FormData();

    for (let file of files) {
        formData.append('photo', file);
    }
    formData.append('ci',body['ci']);  
    formData.append('phone_number', body['phone_number']); 
    formData.append('experience',body['experience']);
    formData.append('user',body['user']);//here i have inside the fields: body['user'].id,body['user'].first_name,body['user'].last_name





    //include header
    let headers = new Headers();
    headers.append('Accept', 'application/json');
    headers.append("Authorization","Token "+ token);

    return this.http.put(this.api+"profile/"+id+'/',formData,{headers})
        .map(this.extractData)
        .catch(this.handleError);
}

FormData's append() method can only accept objects of string or blob type. If you need to append the array, use JSON.stringify() method to convert your array into a valid JSON string.

Here is how:

formData.append('user', JSON.stringify(body['user']));
