A tiny (305B) browser utility for stringifying a query Object.
npm install qss> A tiny (305B) browser utility for stringifying a query Object.
You should only consider using this within a browser context since Node's built-in querystring.stringify is much faster and _should be_ used in a Node environment! An ideal use case is serializing a query object before an API request is sent.
This module exposes three module definitions:
* ES Module: dist/qss.mjs
* CommonJS: dist/qss.js
* UMD: dist/qss.min.js
```
$ npm install --save qss
`js
import { encode, decode } from 'qss';
encode({ foo:'hello', bar:[1,2,3], baz:true });
//=> 'foo=hello&bar=1&bar=2&bar=3&baz=true'
encode({ foo:123 }, '?');
//=> '?foo=123'
encode({ bar:'world' }, 'foo=hello&');
//=> 'foo=hello&bar=world'
decode('foo=hello&bar=1&bar=2&bar=3&baz=true');
//=> { foo:'hello', bar:[1,2,3], baz:true };
`
Returns the formatted querystring.
#### params
Type:
ObjectThe object that contains all query parameter keys & their values.
#### prefix
Type:
String
Default: ''An optional prefix. The stringified
params will be appended to this value, so it must end with your desired joiner; eg ?.> Important: No checks or validations will run on your
prefix. Similarly, no character is used to "glue" the query string to your prefix string.$3
Returns: ObjectReturns an Object with decoded keys and values.
Repetitive keys will form an Array of its values. Also,
qss will attempt to typecast Boolean and Number values.#### query
Type:
StringThe query string, without its leading
? character.`js
qss.decode(
location.search.substring(1) // removes the "?"
);
