qmod

Qmod makes it easier to work with query strings by providing the ability to easily manipulate strings and to switch between strings and objects.

Serverside (as express middleware)

var Qmod = require('qmod');
var url  = require('url');
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  res.locals.qmod = new Qmod(req.originalUrl);
});

In Jade:

a(href=qmod().inc('page').toString()) Next Page

Note: qmod takes the absolute url, but will return a relative path.

API

var qmod = new Qmod('/path?user=holmes&profession=detective');

qmod().set('user', 'sherlock').toString();
// -> /path?user=sherlock&profession=detective;

qmod().set('user', 'sherlock').toObj();
// -> { user: 'sherlock', profession: 'detective' };

qmod().set({ user: 'sherlock', profession: 'sleuth' }).toString();
// -> /path?user=sherlock&profession=sleuth;

qmod().get('profession');
// -> detective

qmod().remove('profession').toObj();
// -> { user: 'sherlock' };

Pagination

var qmod = new Qmod('page=1');
qmod().inc('page');
// -> page=2

var qmod = new Qmod('page=3');
qmod().dec('page');
// -> page=2
