Unquery 🍫

Build and control query-strings with confidence.

It helps you to parse and stringify query-strings in a predictable way.

Instalation

To install, use:

Yarn:

yarn add --save unquery

Npm:

npm install --save unquery

Usage

Example 1 - Basic Usage

import { Unquery } from 'unquery'
 
const querySchema = Unquery('?foo=bar&baz=1', {
  foo: Unquery.string(),
  baz: Unquery.number()
})
 
console.log(querySchema)

{ "foo": "bar", "baz": 1 }

---

Example 2 - Different types usage

const querySchema = Unquery('?foo=str&bar=123&baz=1,2,3&date=2020-01-01&num=10&unnecessary=false' {
  foo: Unquery.string(),
  bar: Unquery.number(),
  baz: Unquery.array(Unquery.number()),
  date: Unquery.string(),
  num: Unquery.custom(value => Number(value) * 2)
}, { arrayFormat: "comma" })
 
console.log(querySchema)

{
  "foo": "str",
  "bar": 123,
  "baz": [ 1, 2, 3 ],
  "date": "2020-01-01",
  "num": 20
}

---

Example 3 - Stringify usage

import { Unquery, stringify } from "unquery"
 
const querySchema = Unquery('?foo=str&bar=123&baz=1,2,3&date=2020-01-01&unnecessary=false' {
  foo: Unquery.string(),
  bar: Unquery.number(),
  baz: Unquery.array(Unquery.number()),
  date: Unquery.array()
}, { arrayFormat: "comma" })
 
const stringified = stringify(querySchema, { arrayFormat: 'bracket' })
console.log(stringified)

"?foo=str&bar=123&baz[]=1&baz[]=2&baz[]=3&date[]=2020-01-01"

API

@param input: string

Input to be parsed.

@param schema: object

Your query-string schema, that's gonna be parsed.

  "index": "foo[0]=1&foo[1]=2&foo[3]=3"
  "comma": "foo=1,2,3"
  "none": "foo=1&foo=2&foo=3"

• skipNull
  • Description Skip null values to be parsed.
  • Type boolean

  Unquery('?value=123', {
    value: Unquery.number(),
    notInQueryValue: Unquery.string()
  }, { skipNull: false })
   
  // { value: 123, notInQueryValue: null }

  Unquery('?value=123', {
    value: Unquery.number(),
    notInQueryValue: Unquery.string()
  }, { skipNull: true })
   
  // { value: 123 }

• skipUnknown
  • Description Skip unknown values to be parsed.
  • Type boolean
  • Default true

  Unquery('?value=foo&unknown=bar', {
    value: Unquery.string()
  }, { skipUnknown: false })
   
  // { value: "foo", unknown: "bar" }

  Unquery('?value=foo&unknown=bar', {
    value: Unquery.string()
  }, { skipUnknown: true })
   
  // { value: "foo" }
