I realize that fundamentally I'm probably going about this the wrong way so I'm open to any pushes in the right direction.
I'm trying to use the HipChat API to send a notification to a room like so:
https://www.hipchat.com/docs/api/method/rooms/message
I'm trying to build the URL in the example with a js object's parameters, so basically I'm trying to convert this:
var hipChatSettings = {
format:"json",
auth_token:token,
room_id: 1,
from: "Notifications",
message: "Message"
}
To this:
https://api.hipchat.com/v1/rooms/message?format=json&auth_token=token&room_id=1&from=Notifications&message=Message
You should check this jQuery.param function.
var params = { width:1680, height:1050 };
var str = jQuery.param( params );
console.log(str);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Object.keys(hipChatSettings).map(function(k) {
return encodeURIComponent(k) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(hipChatSettings[k]);
}).join('&')
// => "format=json&auth_token=token&room_id=1&from=Notifications&message=Message"
Warning: newish JavaScript. If you want it to work on ancients, shim or rewrite into for
.
Something like this could work for you
var str = "?" + Object.keys(hipChatSettings).map(function(prop) {
return [prop, hipChatSettings[prop]].map(encodeURIComponent).join("=");
}).join("&");
// "?format=json&auth_token=token&room_id=1&from=Notifications&message=Message"
If you can't depend on ECMAScript 5, you can use a simple for loop
var pairs = [];
for (var prop in hipChatSettings) {
if (hipChatSettings.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
var k = encodeURIComponent(prop),
v = encodeURIComponent(hipChatSettings[prop]);
pairs.push( k + "=" + v);
}
}
var str = "?" + pairs.join("&");
ES6 version, can do really nested objects with arrays
encodeURI(getUrlString({a: 1, b: [true, 12.3, "string"]}))
getUrlString (params, keys = [], isArray = false) {
const p = Object.keys(params).map(key => {
let val = params[key]
if ("[object Object]" === Object.prototype.toString.call(val) || Array.isArray(val)) {
if (Array.isArray(params)) {
keys.push("")
} else {
keys.push(key)
}
return getUrlString(val, keys, Array.isArray(val))
} else {
let tKey = key
if (keys.length > 0) {
const tKeys = isArray ? keys : [...keys, key]
tKey = tKeys.reduce((str, k) => { return "" === str ? k : `${str}[${k}]` }, "")
}
if (isArray) {
return `${ tKey }[]=${ val }`
} else {
return `${ tKey }=${ val }`
}
}
}).join('&')
keys.pop()
return p
}
try with this method:
public static SerializeParams<T>(Datos: T): string {
var keys = Object.keys(Datos);
var stringParams: string = "?";
for (var i in keys) {
var name = keys[i];
if (i == 0)
stringParams += name + "=" + JSON.stringify(Datos[name]);
else
stringParams += "&" + name + "=" + JSON.stringify(Datos[name])
}
return stringParams;
};
