New feature : Option to add leading "?"

[nitinsh99]

Would you be open to PR for adding following option?

Example:

let params = {
"foo": bar
}
const url = `http://abc.com/xyz${stringify(params,{separator:true}})`
//prints http://abc.com/xyz?foo=bar

with falsy params

let params = undefined;
const url = `http://abc.com/xyz${stringify(params,{seperator:true})`
//prints http://abc.com/xyz

Rationale:
Avoid ternary checks like this everywhere:

const url = params? 'http://abc.com/xyz?${stringify(params)' : 'http://abc.com/xyz'

I think it would be better to add a method that does the inverse of .parseUrl().

I had exactly the same use case: Avoid using ternaries.

@sindresorhus Can I try to fix this? I'm thinking of creating a method named parseObject that you parse result of .parseUrl to receive new url

Example

const obj = {url: 'https://foo.bar', query: {foo: 'bar'}}
queryString.parseObject(obj)
//=> 'https://foo.bar?foo=bar'

[sindresorhus]

@komcal Sure.parseObject is not a good name. You don't parse an object. The name should be stringifyUrl.

[komkanit]

const obj = {url: 'https://foo.bar', query: {foo: 'bar'}}
queryString.stringifyUrl(obj)
//=> 'https://foo.bar?foo=bar'

@sindresorhus Is this ok?

[sindresorhus]

Yes

My case:

const obj = {url: 'https://foo.bar', query: {foo: ['bar', 'baz']}}
const options = {arrayFormat: 'bracket'}
queryString.stringifyUrl(obj, options)
//=> 'https://foo.bar?foo[]=bar&foo[]=baz'
