+ is parsed as white space

[caddac]

I see there is a test that indicated + should be parsed into white space, however when I test this here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent
+ is encoded as %2B.

Resolved by using encodeUriComponent to convert + into %2B in query strings.

Hey @caddac

This did not work in my case. When doing

const urlEncode = encodeURIComponent(location.search)
const urlParsed = query.parse(urlEncode)

it returns

doesn't work for my either

Why does query-string.parse() still convert '+' into ' ' when the decode option is set to false? This isn't handled by decode-uri-component but it's manually done via string manipulation.

In my use case, URL has a Base64 query string value, it will be wrong if the + convert to space automatically. Maybe I need to replace back to + for my Base64 query string.
