RackUtils HTTP query
====================

[](#rackutils-http-query)

Tiny package to build HTTP URL query string compatible with Rails app.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

This library produces output without explicit indices. As simple as that.

```
$vars = ['fruits' => ['apple', 'banana', 'orange']];
$query_string = \TechnicallyPhp\RackUtilsHttpQuery::build($vars);
var_dump($query_string);
// will output: "fruits[]=apple&fruits[]=banana&fruits[]=orange"
```

Motivation
==========

[](#motivation)

PHP stock [`http_build_query()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.http-build-query.php)converts array into items with indices explicitly defined. This is not compatible with the way Rails applications parse requests.

```
$vars = ['fruits' => ['apple', 'banana', 'orange']];
$query_string = http_build_query($vars);
var_dump($query_string);
// will output: "fruits[0]=apple&fruits[1]=banana&fruits[2]=orange"
```

Details
=======

[](#details)

This package follows `Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query` [specification](https://github.com/rack/rack/blob/master/test/spec_utils.rb). Please check [RackUtilsHttpQueryTest.php](./tests/RackUtilsHttpQueryTest.php#L59).
