# FormsApi.getValues()

```ts
getValues(): Promise<Record<string, FormValue>>
```

Every field's value by fully qualified name: a text field's text, a check box's or radio group's export value when one is on and `'Off'` when none is, a choice field's option (a multi-select list box's choices as an array). Signature fields are left out. With a viewer open, what the viewer holds, typed values included. What it returns can be given back to `setValues()`; only read-only fields are refused. Needs the `extract` feature.

- Kind: method
- Since: 1.0.0

Returns `Promise<Record<string, FormValue>>`: By fully qualified name; a `FormValue` is a string, or an array of strings for a multi-select list box.

Throws:

- `FEATURE_NOT_LICENSED` — the license lacks `extract`.
- `DOCUMENT_CLOSED` — the document has been closed.

```ts
const values = await doc.forms.getValues();
await fetch('/submit', { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(values) });
```
