Pass a Json object as URL parameter
Posted on October 14, 2021
When you need to pass a more structured set of parameters through URL, here the way to go:
const myObject = {title: 'Some Title', public: true, id: 100}
const obStr = JSON.stringify(myObject)
const param = btoa(obStr)
Then, when you get the param from URL, you can decode this way:
// domain.com/?p=ahgdgf6hhbfdf...
const param = location.search.split('?p=')[1]
let myObject = null
try {
const obStr = atob(param)
myObject = JSON.parse(obStr)
} catch (e) {
return err('Something wrong')
}
console.log(myObject)
