Query strings should be modeled as a multimap
See original GitHub issueAs indicated by the Wikipedia page Query string:
While there is no definitive standard, most web frameworks allow multiple values to be associated with a single field (e.g.
field1=value1&field1=value2&field2=value3
).
And indeed, many web frameworks I have used adopt this approach:
- Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/request-response/#django.http.QueryDict.getlist
- Starlette: https://www.starlette.io/requests/#query-parameters
- nodejs/querystring: https://nodejs.org/api/querystring.html#querystringparsestr-sep-eq-options
Therefore, I suggest itty-router
follow the same convention.
Currently, itty-router
models query strings as a Obj
:
where Obj
is actually a map from some string to some string:
I suggest introducing MultiObj
as the data model of query strings:
export type MultiObj = {
[propName: string]: string | Array<string>
}
I’d like to help if you @kwhitley are interested in this 😃
