unicode-querystring

Simple library for parsing and generation unicode query string

Motivation

There are standart methods for dealing with query string both in browsers and nodejs, but there is fenomena (for example in nodejs), when browser sends to the server url parameters (query string) it uses encodeURI, but nodejs uses decodeURIComponet for decoding parameters values. That is why, when you have for example as a value of some parameter %D1%84+%D1%8B in a browser, you will receive ф ы as value of that parameter on nodejs side (notice that plus sign was escaped) in case of using nodejs build-in module querystring. There are can be found a lot of use cases when such a behavior isn't suitable, and it is a reason why thi library was written.

Installation

Using npm

$ npm install unicode-querystring --save-dev

or yarn

$ yarn add unicode-querystring

Usage

In nodejs

const uqs = require('unicode-querystring');
 
const params = uqs.parse('var0=%D1%84+%D1%8B&var1=another+value');
 
const qs = uqs.stringify({
    var0: 'ф+ы',
    var1: 'another+value'
});

In browser

import {parse, stringify} = from 'unicode-querystring';
 
const params = parse('var0=%D1%84+%D1%8B&var1=another+value');
 
const qs = stringify({
    var0: 'ф+ы',
    var1: 'another+value'
});
