# native-querystring

[![Build Status][ci-img]][ci]
[![BrowserStack Status][browserstack-img]][browserstack]

Node’s querystring module implemented using the built-in [`URLSeachParams`
API][mdn].

**:warning: Differences with original `querystring` module**

- Space and its percent-encoded value (`%20`) is replaced with plus-sign `+`
- Fourth argument for `parse` and `stringify` is not supported

If you want to use Node’s `url` module based on the URL API, consider using
[native-url][native-url] module.

## Install

```sh
npm install native-querystring --save
```

## Usage

```js
import * as qs from 'querystring';

qs.parse('becky=1&jackson=brody&jackson=winnie'); // { becky: '1', jackson: ['brody', 'winnie'] }
qs.stringify({ becky: 1, gracie: ['rex', 'milo'], shadow: '' }); // becky=1&gracie=rex&gracie=milo&shadow=
```

If you want to alias `querystring` module to this module, refer to
[Webpack][webpack-alias] and [Rollup][rollup-alias] documentation on aliasing
modules (or, [native-url alias explanation][native-url-alias]).

### Usage with `native-url`, ES Modules and Webpack


Show me

Since `native-url` exposes ESM file through `.mjs` extension, additional Webpack configuration is needed to make `native-url` use ESM version of `native-querystring`.

```js
{
module: {
rules: [
{
type: 'javascript/auto',
test: /\.mjs$/,
include: /node_modules\/native-url/,
resolve: {
mainFields: ['module']
},
use: []
}
];
}
}
```

### Named exports as default export


Show me

`native-querystring` (and `native-url`) expose their methods thorugh named
exports. To get default behavior you would need to import entire module contents

```js
import * as qs from 'native-querystring'; // or 'querystring' if aliased`
import * as url from 'native-url'; // or 'url' if aliased`
```

This is fine for your own code, but dependencies will throw error since they
can’t find default export by default for both modules.

To fix this, it’s best to make changes to code at compile time to expose every
named export as property of object which should be default export.

Here is a Babel plugin code which achieves that:

```js
const babel = require('@babel/core');

const plugin = babel.createConfigItem(({ types: t }) => {
return {
visitor: {
ExportNamedDeclaration(path, parent) {
const properties = path.node.specifiers.map((node) => ({
exported: node.exported.name,
local: node.local.name
}));
path.insertAfter(
t.exportDefaultDeclaration(
t.objectExpression(
properties.map((prop) =>
t.objectProperty(
t.identifier(prop.exported),
t.identifier(prop.local)
)
)
)
)
);
}
}
};
});
```

And here is how you apply it with Webpack:

```js
{
test: /\.m?js$/,
include: /node_modules\/(?:native-url|native-querystring)/,
use: [
{
loader: 'babel-loader',
options: {
plugins: [plugin]
}
}
]
};
```

After that you can use both modules’ named exports as default export.

## API

### parse(input, separator, equals)

Returns: `Object`

Parses a URL query string into a collection of key and value pairs.

| Property | Type | Default | Description |
| ----------- | -------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `input` | `string` | | The URL query string to parse. |
| `separator` | `string` | `&` | The substring used to delimit key and value pairs in the query string. |
| `equals` | `string` | `=` | The substring used to delimit keys and values in the query string. |

### stringify(input, separator, equals)

Returns: `string`

Produces a URL query string from a given obj by iterating through the object's
"own properties".

| Property | Type | Default | Description |
| ----------- | -------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `input` | `Object` | | The object to serialize into a URL query string. |
| `separator` | `string` | `&` | The substring used to delimit key and value pairs in the query string. |
| `equals` | `string` | `=` | The substring used to delimit keys and values in the query string. |

### escape(input)

Returns: `string`

Performs URL percent-encoding on the given input in a manner that is optimized
for the specific requirements of URL query strings.

#### input

Type: `string`

### unescape(input)

Returns: `string`

Performs decoding of URL percent-encoded characters on the given input.

#### input

Type: `string`

## Browser support

Tested in IE9+ and all modern browsers.

It relies on the DOM [`URLSearchParams` API][mdn] to work. For older browsers
that don’t support the `URLSearchParams` API, a [polyfill][polyfill] is
available.

## Test

Test suite is taken from [Node core][node-tests] and [`querystring-es3`
module][querystring-es3-tests] to cover all native querystring test cases.

For automated tests, run `npm run test:automated` (append `:watch` for watcher
support).
