How to correctly handle Params and Querys in Axios? - node.js

Question

I'm consuming an API with NODEJS and using the axios to do the "get" ...
In NODEJS we call "params" everything that comes before the "?" Character, and we call the "query" everything that goes after the "?" Character, such as:
https://www.url.com/testing.xsjs?QueryName1='test1,test1'&QueryName2=1
The problem I'm having in Axios is that it does not create the url correctly, which the correct URL should be:
https: //www.url.comho/fatSales.xsjs?Shop='shop1,shop2,shop3'&PeriodoDe=201801&PeriodoAte=201807&Kpi='kp1,kp2,kp3'& Select = NUCOMPETEC
But the url he is creating for me is this:
https://www.apiUrl.com/Shop=shop1, + shop2, + shop3&PeriodoDe=201801&PeriodoAte=201807&Kpi=kp1,+kp2,+kp3&Select=NUCOMPETEC
I have some issues with this URL that it creates that are as follows:
1) Shop and Kpi it creates the "+" character
2) It does not add the parameter (NODEJS) before the "?" Character ...
Remembering that:
Shop and Kpi (It's an array with 1 or * elements)
const axios = require('axios');
const Qs = require('qs');
class ApiDAO {
constructor(xsjs, shoppingId, periodOf, periodUntil, kpi, select){
this.xsjs = xsjs;
this.shoppingId = shoppingId;
this.periodOf = periodOf;
this.periodUntil = periodUntil;
this.kpi = kpi;
this.select = select;
}
configAxios(){
return axios.create({
method: 'GET',
responseType: 'json',
responseEncoding: 'utf8',
headers: {
'Content-Type': "application/json",
'Cache-Control': "no-cache",
Authorization: "",
Apikey: "",
},
params: {
xsjs: this.xsjs,
Shop: this.shoppingId,
PeriodoDe: this.periodOf,
PeriodoAte: this.periodUntil,
Kpi: this.kpi,
Select: this.select
},
});
}
async getResponseAxios(){
return await this.configAxios().get('https://www.apiUrl.com/');
}
}
module.exports = () => { return ApiDAO };

Answer 1

Are you stringifying your params? Can you try the following:
const axios = require('axios');
const Qs = require('qs');
class ApiDAO {
constructor(xsjs, shoppingId, periodOf, periodUntil, kpi, select){
this.xsjs = xsjs;
this.shoppingId = shoppingId;
this.periodOf = periodOf;
this.periodUntil = periodUntil;
this.kpi = kpi;
this.select = select;
}
configAxios(url){
return axios.get({
method: 'GET',
url: url,
responseType: 'json',
responseEncoding: 'utf8',
headers: {
'Content-Type': "application/json",
'Cache-Control': "no-cache",
Authorization: "",
Apikey: "",
},
params: {
xsjs: this.xsjs,
Shop: this.shoppingId,
PeriodoDe: this.periodOf,
PeriodoAte: this.periodUntil,
Kpi: this.kpi,
Select: this.select
},
});
}
async getResponseAxios(){
return await this.configAxios('https://www.apiUrl.com/');
}
}
module.exports = () => { return ApiDAO };
Or if you want to use axios create, pass the URL in earlier as an option field. I don't think it's an error with the other params.
