http-param-expander

Make your life easier with HTTP parameter encoding for typescript/javascript projects!

About The Project

This Library aims to make your life easier with HTTP parameter encoding for typescript/javascript projects:

• matrix parameters (mostly used by Java Jax-RS projects)
• query parameters
• form parameters
• label parameters
• simple parameters
• and some more esoteric and custom parameter styles

Each in its exploded and flat form.

This is especially useful for REST-clients generated by OpenAPI generator where only a small subset of parameter styles is supported out of the box.

Getting Started

This npm library is intended to be used in typescript and javascript projects.

Just install the NPM package:

npm install @honoluluhenk/http-param-expander

Usage

import {MatrixParamExpander} from './matrix-param-expander'; 

const expander = new MatrixParamExpander();
const expanded = expander.expand({name: foo, value: {hello: 'world', bar: 'baz'}, exploded: true});
console.log(expanded);
// ;hello=world;bar=baz

Available expanders:

• FormParamExpander
• LabelParamExpander
• MatrixParamExpander
• SimpleParamExpander
• FormParamExpander (delegates to one of the above)
