🔥 Want to strengthen your core JavaScript skills and master ES6?
I would personally recommend this awesome ES6 course by Wes Bos. You might also like his React course.

--- ## Install ``` $ npm install query-string ``` ## Usage ```js const queryString = require('query-string'); console.log(location.search); //=> '?foo=bar' const parsed = queryString.parse(location.search); console.log(parsed); //=> {foo: 'bar'} console.log(location.hash); //=> '#token=bada55cafe' const parsedHash = queryString.parse(location.hash); console.log(parsedHash); //=> {token: 'bada55cafe'} parsed.foo = 'unicorn'; parsed.ilike = 'pizza'; const stringified = queryString.stringify(parsed); //=> 'foo=unicorn&ilike=pizza' location.search = stringified; // note that `location.search` automatically prepends a question mark console.log(location.search); //=> '?foo=unicorn&ilike=pizza' ``` ## API ### .parse(*string*, *[options]*) Parse a query string into an object. Leading `?` or `#` are ignored, so you can pass `location.search` or `location.hash` directly. The returned object is created with [`Object.create(null)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/create) and thus does not have a `prototype`. URI components are decoded with [`decode-uri-component`](https://github.com/SamVerschueren/decode-uri-component). #### arrayFormat Type: `string`
Default: `'none'` Supports both `index` for an indexed array representation or `bracket` for a *bracketed* array representation. - `bracket`: stands for parsing correctly arrays with bracket representation on the query string, such as: ```js queryString.parse('foo[]=1&foo[]=2&foo[]=3', {arrayFormat: 'bracket'}); //=> foo: [1,2,3] ``` - `index`: stands for parsing taking the index into account, such as: ```js queryString.parse('foo[0]=1&foo[1]=2&foo[3]=3', {arrayFormat: 'index'}); //=> foo: [1,2,3] ``` - `none`: is the **default** option and removes any bracket representation, such as: ```js queryString.parse('foo=1&foo=2&foo=3'); //=> foo: [1,2,3] ``` ### .stringify(*object*, *[options]*) Stringify an object into a query string, sorting the keys. #### strict Type: `boolean`
Default: `true` Strictly encode URI components with [strict-uri-encode](https://github.com/kevva/strict-uri-encode). It uses [encodeURIComponent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent) if set to false. You probably [don't care](https://github.com/sindresorhus/query-string/issues/42) about this option. #### encode Type: `boolean`
Default: `true` [URL encode](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent) the keys and values. #### arrayFormat Type: `string`
Default: `'none'` Supports both `index` for an indexed array representation or `bracket` for a *bracketed* array representation. -
