# Form URLEncoded

A `FormURLEncoded` datatype represents an ordered list of key-value pairs with possible duplicates. The `encode` function allows to transform `FormURLEncoded` into a `Maybe String` according to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`. The `decode` function transforms a string into a `Maybe FormURLEncoded` structure.

## Installation

Install `form-urlencoded` with [Spago](https://github.com/purescript/spago):

```sh
spago install form-urlencoded
```

## Quick start

Use the `encode` function to properly encode an array of key-value pairs, and the `decode` function to decode an encoded string.

```purs
> import Data.FormURLEncoded (fromArray, encode)
> import Data.Maybe (Maybe(..))
> import Data.Tuple (Tuple(..))

> encode $ fromArray
> [ Tuple "hey" Nothing
> , Tuple "Oh" (Just "Let's go!")
> ]
Just "hey&Oh=Let's+go!"

> decode "a=aa&b=bb"
Just (FormURLEncoded [(Tuple "a" (Just "aa")),(Tuple "b" (Just "bb"))])
```
