URI::Query - class providing URI query string manipulation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# Constructor - using a GET query string
$qq = URI::Query->new($query_string);
# OR Constructor - using a hashref of key => value parameters
$qq = URI::Query->new($cgi->Vars);
# OR Constructor - using an array of successive keys and values
$qq = URI::Query->new(@params);
# Revert back to the initial constructor state (to do it all again)
$qq->revert;
# Remove all occurrences of the given parameters
$qq->strip('page', 'next');
# Remove all parameters except the given ones
$qq->strip_except('pagesize', 'order');
# Remove all empty/undefined parameters
$qq->strip_null;
# Replace all occurrences of the given parameters
$qq->replace(page => $page, foo => 'bar');
# Set the argument separator to use for output (default: unescaped '&')
$qq->separator(';');
# Output the current query string
print "$qq"; # OR $qq->stringify;
# Stringify with explicit argument separator
$qq->stringify(';');
# Get a flattened hash/hashref of the current parameters
# (single item parameters as scalars, multiples as an arrayref)
my %qq = $qq->hash;
# Get a non-flattened hash/hashref of the current parameters
# (parameter => arrayref of values)
my %qq = $qq->hash_arrayref;
# Get the current query string as a set of hidden input tags
print $qq->hidden;
# Check whether the query has changed since construction
if ($qq->has_changed) {
print "changed version: $qq\n";
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
URI::Query provides simple URI query string manipulation, allowing you
to create and manipulate URI query strings from GET and POST requests in
web applications. This is primarily useful for creating links where you
wish to preserve some subset of the parameters to the current request,
and potentially add or replace others. Given a query string this is
doable with regexes, of course, but making sure you get the anchoring
and escaping right is tedious and error-prone - this module is simpler.
=head2 CONSTRUCTOR
URI::Query objects can be constructed from scalar query strings
('foo=1&bar=2&bar=3'), from a hashref which has parameters as keys, and
values either as scalars or arrayrefs of scalars (to handle the case of
parameters with multiple values e.g. { foo => '1', bar => [ '2', '3' ] }),
or arrays composed of successive parameters-value pairs
e.g. ('foo', '1', 'bar', '2', 'bar', '3'). For instance:
# Constructor - using a GET query string
$qq = URI::Query->new($query_string);
# Constructor - using an array of successive keys and values
$qq = URI::Query->new(@params);
# Constructor - using a hashref of key => value parameters,
# where values are either scalars or arrayrefs of scalars
$qq = URI::Query->new($cgi->Vars);
URI::Query also handles L<CGI.pm>-style hashrefs, where multiple
values are packed into a single string, separated by the "\0" (null)
character.
All keys and values are URI unescaped at construction time, and are
stored and referenced unescaped. So a query string like:
group=prod%2Cinfra%2Ctest&op%3Aset=x%3Dy
is stored as:
'group' => 'prod,infra,test'
'op:set' => 'x=y'
You should always use the unescaped/normal variants in methods i.e.
$qq->replace('op:set' => 'x=z');
NOT:
$qq->replace('op%3Aset' => 'x%3Dz');
=head2 MODIFIER METHODS
All modifier methods change the state of the URI::Query object in some
way, and return $self, so they can be used in chained style e.g.
$qq->revert->strip('foo')->replace(bar => 123);
Note that URI::Query stashes a copy of the parameter set that existed
at construction time, so that any changes made by these methods can be
rolled back using 'revert()'. So you don't (usually) need to keep
multiple copies around to handle incompatible changes.
=over 4
=item revert()
Revert the current parameter set back to that originally given at
construction time i.e. discard all changes made since construction.
=item strip($param1, $param2, ...)
Remove all occurrences of the given parameters and their values from
the current parameter set.
=item strip_except($param1, $param2, ...)
Remove all parameters EXCEPT those given from the current parameter
set.
=item strip_null()
Remove all parameters that have a value of undef from the current
parameter set.
=item replace($param1 => $value1, $param2, $value2, ...)
Replace the values of the given parameters in the current parameter set
with these new ones. Parameter names must be scalars, but values can be
either scalars or arrayrefs of scalars, when multiple values are desired.
Note that 'replace' can also be used to add or append, since there's
no requirement that the parameters already exist in the current parameter
set.
=item strip_like($regex)
Remove all parameters whose names match the given (qr-quoted) regex e.g.
$qq->strip_like(qr/^utm/)
Does NOT match against parameter values.
=item separator($separator)
Set the argument separator to use for output. Default: '&'.
=back
=head2 ACCESSOR METHODS
=over 4
=item has_changed()
If the query is actually changed by any of the modifier methods (strip,
strip_except, strip_null, strip_like, or replace) it sets an internal
changed flag which can be access by:
$qq->has_changed
revert() resets the has_changed flag to false.
=back
=head2 OUTPUT METHODS
=over 4
=item "$qq", stringify(), stringify($separator)
Return the current parameter set as a conventional param=value query
string, using $separator as the separator if given. e.g.
foo=1&bar=2&bar=3
Note that all parameters and values are URI escaped by stringify(), so
that query-string reserved characters do not occur within elements. For
instance, a parameter set of:
'group' => 'prod,infra,test'
'op:set' => 'x=y'
will be stringified as:
group=prod%2Cinfra%2Ctest&op%3Aset=x%3Dy
=item hash()
Return a hash (in list context) or hashref (in scalar context) of the
current parameter set. Single-item parameters have scalar values, while
while multiple-item parameters have arrayref values e.g.
{
foo => 1,
bar => [ 2, 3 ],
}
=item hash_arrayref()
Return a hash (in list context) or hashref (in scalar context) of the
current parameter set. All values are returned as arrayrefs, including
those with single values e.g.
{
foo => [ 1 ],
bar => [ 2, 3 ],
}
=item hidden()
Returns the current parameter set as a concatenated string of hidden
input tags, one per parameter-value e.g.
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="bar" value="2" />
<input type="hidden" name="bar" value="3" />

=head1 BUGS AND CAVEATS
Please report bugs and/or feature requests to
C<bug-uri-query at rt.cpan.org>, or through
the web interface at
L<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=URI-Query>.
Should allow unescaping of input to be turned off, for situations in
which it's already been done. Please let me know if you find you
actually need this.
I don't think it makes sense on the output side though, since you need
to understand the structure of the query to escape elements correctly.
