express-query-auto-parse

Convert query strings to boolean, numbers and dates for express/connect applications.

Installation

npm install --save express-query-boolean

Getting Started

The module will recursively attempt to parse every property in req.query.

Load it right after bodyParser:

var autoParser = require('express-query-auto-parse');

// [...]

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(autoParser());

Without

// ?a=true&b[c]=false
console.log(req.query);
// => { a: 'true', b: { c: 'false' } }

With

// ?a=true&b[c]=false
console.log(req.query);
// => { a: true, b: { c: false } }

Numbers

Convert string to numbers if they can be converted.

// ?a=2a&b=2
console.log(req.query);
// => { a: '2a', b: 2 }

Dates ( New in v2.2.0 )

Convert string to dates if they are valid dates.

// ?a=2a&b=2020-03-17T23:05:53.733Z
console.log(req.query);
// => { a: '2a', b: 2020-03-17T23:05:53.733Z }
