Support for multiple request params with same name?

The current way of sending a GET request with query params like ?foo=5&bar=3 works like this:

axios.get('http://example.com/', { foo: 5, bar: 3 });

But since JS objects don’t support multiple fields with the same key, there’s no way to construct a request with multiple values for the same field (some APIs require this), such as this example:

http://example.com/?foo=5&bar=3&foo=7

I’d suggest adding a way to create the above URL by providing a list of arguments instead:

axios.get('http://example.com/', { bar: 3, foo: [5, 7] }

those are query params and not a js object as you mentioned

They are query params passed to get() as a JS object. get() then probably constructs the query param string out of the JS object.

I am currently using stringify(), but since there is clearly a built-in support for passing the query params as an object, why not improve it and add support for passing multiple params of the same key? Then we wouldn’t need stringify() anymore.

Here’s an example using URLSearchParams: https://codepen.io/adam-lynch/pen/QORMyj. See the request in dev tools
