Add a Query Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddQueryParam, which adds or replaces a query-string parameter. The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value; Chilkat URL-encodes both as needed.

import { Rest } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  const rest = new Rest();

  // Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
  // and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
  const bTls = true;
  const bAutoReconnect = true;
  try {
    await rest.connectAsync('example.com', 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect);
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Add query-string parameters.  The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value.
  // Chilkat automatically URL-encodes names and values as needed.
  rest.addQueryParam('q', 'chilkat rest');
  rest.addQueryParam('limit', '10');

  // For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
  let responseText: string;
  try {
    responseText = await rest.fullRequestNoBodyAsync('GET', '/api/search');
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(responseText);
