@types/qs

What is @types/qs?

The @types/qs package provides TypeScript type definitions for the qs library, which is used for parsing and stringifying query strings. It allows developers to work with query strings in a type-safe manner, ensuring that the code adheres to the expected structure and types of the qs library.

What are @types/qs's main functionalities?

Parsing query strings

This feature allows you to parse query strings into an object, making it easier to access the query parameters.

import * as qs from 'qs';

const query = '?a=c&b=d';
const parsed = qs.parse(query);
console.log(parsed); // { a: 'c', b: 'd' }

Stringifying objects

This feature enables you to convert an object into a query string, useful for creating URLs with query parameters.

import * as qs from 'qs';

const obj = { a: 'c', b: 'd' };
const stringified = qs.stringify(obj);
console.log(stringified); // 'a=c&b=d'

Other packages similar to @types/qs

query-string

The query-string package offers parsing and stringifying of query strings. It provides a more modern API and supports newer JavaScript features compared to qs, but lacks some of the deep object serialization capabilities of qs.

url-search-params

This is a built-in Web API in modern browsers for working with query strings, similar to qs. It doesn't require installation but is not as feature-rich as qs, especially in terms of parsing options and array handling.
