The query-string library is a powerful JavaScript-based tool that aids in the parsing and stringification of URL query strings. It is designed to facilitate the handling of URL parameters, making it convenient and efficient to decode, analyze, manipulate, and recreate query strings.

How do you use query-string?

To utilize the query-string library, you should first install it via npm:

npm install query-string

Afterwards, you can use the following JavaScript code as a guide for how the library could be implemented into your project:

import queryString from 'query-string';

// Parse a URL query string
const parsed = queryString.parse(location.search);

// Modify the parsed object
parsed.foo = 'unicorn';
parsed.ilike = 'pizza';

// Stringify the object back into a query string
const stringified = queryString.stringify(parsed);

// Replace the current page's query string with the new one
location.search = stringified;

In this example, the parse() function is used to convert a URL query string into an accessible JavaScript object. After modifying the object, the stringify() function is utilized to turn the object back into a query string.

Where are the query-string docs?
