Package Exports

form-urlencoded

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (form-urlencoded) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

OVERVIEW:

form-urlencoded encodes x-www-form-urlencoded string data. It may be used in an ecmascript environment, such as a browser or node.js.

application/x-www-form-urlencoded is a string encoding used, primarily, when an HTML form is submitted. The form data is serialised in this format and sent to a server.

The format is not well defined. Serialising complex data, such as a javascript object, is beyond the specification.

Server softwares do share methods for handling complex urlencoded data and so there is a "defacto" standard for serializing such data. This is the standard that form-urlencoded follows.

INSTALL:

form-urlencoded may be downloaded directly or installed through npm.

npm

$ npm install form-urlencoded

to run tests, use npm test from a shell.

$ npm test

encode:

var formurlencoded = require('form-urlencoded');
var obj = {
  propStr1 : 'str1',
  propStr2 : 'str2',
  propStr3 : 'str2',
  propArr : [3, { prop : 'val' }, 1, null, 6],
  propObj : { 
    objPropStr1 : 'objStr1',
    objPropStr2 : null
  }
};

console.log(formurlencoded.encode(obj));

// propStr1=str1&propStr2=str2&propStr3=str2&propArr%5B%5D=
// 3&propArr%5B%5D%5Bprop%5D=val&propArr%5B%5D=1&propArr%5B
// %5D=null&propArr%5B%5D=6&propObj%5BobjPropStr1%5D=objStr
// 1&propObj%5BobjPropStr2%5D=null

console.log(formurlencoded.encode(obj, {
  ignorenull : true,
  sorted : true
}));

// propArr%5B%5D=3&propArr%5B%5D%5Bprop%5D=val&propArr%5B%5
// D=1&propArr%5B%5D=6&propObj%5BobjPropStr1%5D=objStr1&pro
// pStr1=str1&propStr2=str2&propStr3=str2
