querystring

Shell script helper functions for encoding/decoding querystring data.

Example

bash

#!/usr/bin/env importimport "querystring@1.3.0"
querystring_escape "hello world"# hello%20world
querystring_unescape "hello%20world"# hello world

#!/usr/bin/env importimport "querystring@1.3.0"
querystring_escape "hello world"# hello%20world
querystring_unescape "hello%20world"# hello world

API

`querystring $path`

Outputs the querystring portion of the provided request URL. Once you have the querystring, it may be parsed with querystring_parse.

bash

#!/usr/bin/env importimport "querystring@1.3.0"
querystring "/api/hello"# (empty)
querystring "/api/hello?name=rick"# name=rick

#!/usr/bin/env importimport "querystring@1.3.0"
querystring "/api/hello"# (empty)
querystring "/api/hello?name=rick"# name=rick

`querystring_escape $input`

Encodes the input with querystring percent-encoding. Similar to encodeURIComponent() in JavaScript.

bash

#!/usr/bin/env importimport "querystring@1.3.0"
querystring_escape hello world# hello%20world
# Also works over stdinecho hello world | querystring_escape# hello%20world

#!/usr/bin/env importimport "querystring@1.3.0"
querystring_escape hello world# hello%20world
# Also works over stdinecho hello world | querystring_escape# hello%20world

`querystring_unescape $input`

Decodes querystring-encoded content. Similar to decodeURIComponent() in JavaScript.

`querystring_parse $qs $var1 <... $var2>`

Parses the provided qs querystring and sets the requested shell variables.

bash

#!/usr/bin/env importimport "querystring@1.3.0"
querystring_parse "one=1&two=2&three=3" one two
echo "$one"# 1
echo "$two"# 2
echo "$three"# Not set, since it was not requested in `querystring_parse`

#!/usr/bin/env importimport "querystring@1.3.0"
querystring_parse "one=1&two=2&three=3" one two
echo "$one"# 1
echo "$two"# 2
echo "$three"# Not set, since it was not requested in `querystring_parse`
