import { querystring } from 'ranuts';

const params = {
  name: 'John',
  age: 30,

};

const query = querystring(params);
console.log(query); // 'name=John&age=30&city=New%20York'

Build URL

import { querystring } from 'ranuts';

const baseUrl = 'https://api.example.com/users';
const params = {
  page: 1,
  limit: 10,
  sort: 'name',
};

const url = `${baseUrl}?${querystring(params)}`;
console.log(url);
// 'https://api.example.com/users?page=1&limit=10&sort=name'

Handle Special Characters

import { querystring } from 'ranuts';

const params = {
  search: 'hello world',
  category: 'web development',
};

const query = querystring(params);
console.log(query); // 'search=hello%20world&category=web%20development'

Filter undefined and null

import { querystring } from 'ranuts';

const params = {
  name: 'John',
  age: undefined,
  city: null,
  active: true,
};

const query = querystring(params);
console.log(query); // 'name=John&active=true'
// Values that are undefined and null will be filtered out

Notes

1. URL encoding: Values are automatically URL encoded.
2. Empty value filtering: Values that are undefined and null are automatically filtered and won't appear in the query string.
3. Object type: If a non-object is passed, a TypeError will be thrown.
4. Encoding handling: Both keys and values are processed with decodeURIComponent before encoding.
