Generate request with non-unique keys

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

Hi there and thanks for this library!

Is it possible to create a request with non-unique keys?

In the backend i want to use php-crud-api which has a filter feature which allows multiple filter[] tags to combine conditions where the request would look something like

this.REST.endpoint.get({“filter[]”: “name_id,eq,” + 1337, “filter[]”: “category_id,ge,” + 4223, columns: “name, category, timestamp”, order: “timestamp, asc” })…

results in the following XHR request:

XHR finished loading: GET “http://localhost/api.php/endpoint?filter[]=category_id%2Cge%2C4223&columns=name%2C category%2C timestamp&order=timestamp%2C asc”

so the first filter[] part gets truncated.

Simple workaround i found was to explicetly name the indices of the array like

this.REST.endpoint.get({“filter[0]”: “name_id,eq,” + 1337, “filter[1]”: “category_id,ge,” + 4223, columns: “name, category, timestamp”, order: “timestamp, asc” }).

but i still think itd be great if the library could take care of that or forward the URL unmodified.

@x29a no, you cannot make it just because JS cannot into object with non-unique keys. But i can make simple wokaround, which will allows you to pass multiple objects into get, so you can just make something about this.REST.endpoint.get({"filter[]": "name_id,eq," + 1337}, "filter[]": "category_id,ge," + 4223}, {columns: "name, category, timestamp", order: "timestamp, asc" })
