Query-string encoding of a Javascript Object
like this?
serialize = function(obj) {
var str = [];
for (var p in obj)
if (obj.hasOwnProperty(p)) {
str.push(encodeURIComponent(p) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(obj[p]));
}
return str.join("&");
}
console.log(serialize({
foo: "hi there",
bar: "100%"
}));
// foo=hi%20there&bar=100%25Edit: this one also converts recursive objects (using php "array" notation for the query string)
serialize = function(obj, prefix) {
var str = [],
p;
for (p in obj) {
if (obj.hasOwnProperty(p)) {
var k = prefix ? prefix + "[" + p + "]" : p,
v = obj[p];
str.push((v !== null && typeof v === "object") ?
serialize(v, k) :
encodeURIComponent(k) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(v));
}
}
return str.join("&");
}
console.log(serialize({
foo: "hi there",
bar: {
blah: 123,
quux: [1, 2, 3]
}
}));
// foo=hi%20there&bar%5Bblah%5D=123&bar%5Bquux%5D%5B0%5D=1&bar%5Bquux%5D%5B1%5D=2&bar%5Bquux%5D%5B2%5D=3Just use URLSearchParams This works in all current browsers
new URLSearchParams(object).toString()
jQuery has a function for this, jQuery.param(), if you're already using it you can use that:
http://api.jquery.com/jquery.param/
example:
var params = { width:1680, height:1050 };
var str = jQuery.param( params );
str now contains width=1680&height=1050
