NAME

Mojo::Parameters - Parameters

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Parameters;

# Parse
my $params = Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar&baz=23');
say $params->param('baz');

# Build
my $params = Mojo::Parameters->new(foo => 'bar', baz => 23);
push @$params, i => '♥ mojolicious';
say "$params";

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Parameters is a container for form parameters used by Mojo::URL, based on RFC 3986 and the HTML Living Standard.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::Parameters implements the following attributes.

charset

my $charset = $params->charset;
$params     = $params->charset('UTF-8');

Charset used for encoding and decoding parameters, defaults to UTF-8.

# Disable encoding and decoding
$params->charset(undef);

METHODS

Mojo::Parameters inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

append

$params = $params->append(foo => 'ba&r');
$params = $params->append(foo => ['ba&r', 'baz']);
$params = $params->append(foo => ['bar', 'baz'], bar => 23);
$params = $params->append(Mojo::Parameters->new);

Append parameters. Note that this method will normalize the parameters.

# "foo=bar&foo=baz"
Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar')->append(Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=baz'));

# "foo=bar&foo=baz"
Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar')->append(foo => 'baz');

# "foo=bar&foo=baz&foo=yada"
Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar')->append(foo => ['baz', 'yada']);

# "foo=bar&foo=baz&foo=yada&bar=23"
Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar')->append(foo => ['baz', 'yada'], bar => 23);

clone

my $params2 = $params->clone;

Return a new Mojo::Parameters object cloned from these parameters.

every_param

my $values = $params->every_param('foo');

Similar to "param", but returns all values sharing the same name as an array reference. Note that this method will normalize the parameters.

# Get first value
say $params->every_param('foo')->[0];

merge

$params = $params->merge(foo => 'ba&r');
$params = $params->merge(foo => ['ba&r', 'baz']);
$params = $params->merge(foo => ['bar', 'baz'], bar => 23);
$params = $params->merge(Mojo::Parameters->new);

Merge parameters. Note that this method will normalize the parameters.

# "foo=baz"
Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar')->merge(Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=baz'));

# "yada=yada&foo=baz"
Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar&yada=yada')->merge(foo => 'baz');

# "yada=yada"
Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar&yada=yada')->merge(foo => undef);

names

my $names = $params->names;

Return an array reference with all parameter names.

# Names of all parameters
say for @{$params->names};

new

my $params = Mojo::Parameters->new;
my $params = Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=b%3Bar&baz=23');
my $params = Mojo::Parameters->new(foo => 'b&ar');
my $params = Mojo::Parameters->new(foo => ['ba&r', 'baz']);
my $params = Mojo::Parameters->new(foo => ['bar', 'baz'], bar => 23);

Construct a new Mojo::Parameters object and "parse" parameters if necessary.

pairs

my $array = $params->pairs;
$params   = $params->pairs([foo => 'b&ar', baz => 23]);

Parsed parameter pairs. Note that this method will normalize the parameters.

# Remove all parameters
$params->pairs([]);

param

my $value = $params->param('foo');
$params   = $params->param(foo => 'ba&r');
$params   = $params->param(foo => qw(ba&r baz));
$params   = $params->param(foo => ['ba;r', 'baz']);

Access parameter values. If there are multiple values sharing the same name, and you want to access more than just the last one, you can use "every_param". Note that this method will normalize the parameters.

parse

$params = $params->parse('foo=b%3Bar&baz=23');

Parse parameters.

remove

$params = $params->remove('foo');

Remove parameters. Note that this method will normalize the parameters.

# "bar=yada"
Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar&foo=baz&bar=yada')->remove('foo');

to_hash

my $hash = $params->to_hash;

Turn parameters into a hash reference. Note that this method will normalize the parameters.

# "baz"
Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar&foo=baz')->to_hash->{foo}[1];

to_string

my $str = $params->to_string;

Turn parameters into a string.

# "foo=bar&baz=23"
Mojo::Parameters->new->pairs([foo => 'bar', baz => 23])->to_string;

OPERATORS

Mojo::Parameters overloads the following operators.

array

my @pairs = @$params;

Alias for "pairs". Note that this will normalize the parameters.

say $params->[0];
say for @$params;

bool

my $bool = !!$params;

Always true.

stringify

my $str = "$params";

Alias for "to_string".
