Koa 2 ctx.query nesting

// When GET /path?a[b]=c
// I think `ctx.query ` should be:
{
   a:{
      b:'c'
   }
}
// But it is
{
   'a[b]':c
}

// Is this a bug?

// if it is, I think
// koa/lib/request.js line 11
const qs = require('querystring');
// should replaced by
const qs = require('qs');

Alternatively, you can use the qs module yourself in a middleware and put the parsed result on the context’s state, i.e. ctx.state.query = qs.parse(ctx.querystring). That’s what I do in my projects.

I second @lourd’s approach and would use qs directly instead of going through another npm dependency, especially since it’s not being actively maintained:

app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.state.query = qs.parse(ctx.querystring)
  await next()
})
