Send nested objects in GET method URL search param

问题:

I am trying to send the request with URL search params as below but I am not able to access a nested object filter on the server side.

axios.get('/get handler', {
  params: { 
    room: 1,
    filter: {
     fan: 2, 
     table: 1,
  }
});

What Am I possibly doing wrong?
I am using Django restFramework 3 on the server side and I am not able to access filter key in the method. I am accessing query params using request.query_params but when i do request.query_params.get('filter') I get none

You need to serialize your params and that you can do by writing a small config as mentioned in this github issue,

Usually you would have this config in the main.js file or the top level file of your application, but again it depends on when you want to execute it

// main.js
import axios from "axios";

// Format nested params correctly
axios.interceptors.request.use(config => {
  window.console.log(config);

  config.paramsSerializer = params => {
    // Qs is already included in the Axios package
    return Qs.stringify(params, {
      arrayFormat: "brackets",
      encode: false
    });
  };

  return config;
});

From axios 0.18.0 onwards:

// main.js
import axios from "axios";
import Qs from 'qs';

// Format nested params correctly
axios.interceptors.request.use(config => {

  config.paramsSerializer = params => {
    // Qs is not included in the Axios package
    return Qs.stringify(params, {
      arrayFormat: "brackets",
      encode: false
    });
  };

  return config;
});
