go-queryparser godoc goreport build codecov

go-queryparser parses a common "q" http GET variable to strip out filters, which can be used for advanced searching, like:

Hello World tags:example,world foo:"something quoted" author:lrstanley

Use:

This will pull from master (currently v2):

$ go get -u -v github.com/lrstanley/go-queryparser
v1
$ go get -u -v gopkg.in/lrstanley/go-queryparser.v1

Example:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/lrstanley/go-queryparser"
)

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		q := queryparser.Parse(r.FormValue("q"))
		if q.Has("author") {
			fmt.Fprintf(w, "filtering by author %q!\n", q.GetOne("author"))
			return
		}

		fmt.Fprint(w, "no filtering requested!\n")
	})

	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
$ curl -s localhost:8080
no filtering requested!
$ curl -s 'localhost:8080?q=author:"liam"'
filtering by author "liam"!

The main benefit is for user input boxes where you want additional filtering, like the Github issues search box, or similar.

Overview

Package queryparser parses a common "q" http GET variable to look for text filters, which can be used for advanced searching. For example:

Hello World tags:example,world foo:"something quoted" author:lrstanley

go-queryparser also strips out not very safe/useful characters by default. See the DefaultCut function for details (and New() for how you can do this yourself.)

Functions

func DefaultCut

func DefaultCut(r rune) (strip bool)

DefaultCut is the default cut function, which allowed stripping out potentially unwanted characters from filter fields and raw text. Only allows " _,-.:A-Za-z0-9" (or unicode equivalents).

Types

type Options

type Options struct {
	// CutFn allows excluding specific characters from being allowed within
	// the filter fields. When the function returns true on a rune, it will
	// be excluded from the filter field.
	CutFn func(rune) bool
	// Allowed is a slice of allowed filter names. If no allowed filter names
	// are provided, all are considered allowed.
	Allowed []string
}

Options allow the adjustment of allowed filters and characters.

type Parser

type Parser struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Parser represents a parser.

func New

func New(query string, opt Options) *Parser

New returns a new instance of Parser. Make sure Parser.Parser() is called or this will leak goroutines.

func (*Parser) Parse

func (p *Parser) Parse() *Query

Parse parses the input query and returns a new instance of Query if there were no errors.

type Query

type Query struct {
	// Raw is the raw (trailing) text of items that weren't filters.
	Raw string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Query represents filtered input.

func Parse

func Parse(query string) *Query

Parse is a higher level helper method to return a query from a query string.

func (*Query) Get

func (q *Query) Get(key string) (results []string, ok bool)

Get returns the results of the filter if it exists, and if it successfully found a result.

func (*Query) GetOne

func (q *Query) GetOne(key string) string

GetOne returns the last known result for the filter, if it exists. Useful if you only want a user to define a filter once. The resulting string is empty if no filter of that key was found.

func (*Query) Has

func (q *Query) Has(key string) (exists bool)

Has returns true if there is a filter matching the given name.

func (*Query) String

func (q *Query) String() (out string)

String will return a string representation of the query, however all filters will be sorted alphabetically, and the raw text will be placed at the end of the string.
