php's http_build_query() in javascript

http_build_query.js

var build_query = function (obj, num_prefix, temp_key) {

  var output_string = []

  Object.keys(obj).forEach(function (val) {

    var key = val;

    num_prefix && !isNaN(key) ? key = num_prefix + key : ''

    var key = encodeURIComponent(key.replace(/[!'()*]/g, escape));
    temp_key ? key = temp_key + '[' + key + ']' : ''

    if (typeof obj[val] === 'object') {
      var query = build_query(obj[val], null, key)
      output_string.push(query)
    }

    else {
      var value = encodeURIComponent(obj[val].replace(/[!'()*]/g, escape));
      output_string.push(key + '=' + value)
    }

  })

  return output_string.join('&')

}

tnx helper function

nodejs8.4

const querystring = require('querystring');
/** @see https://gist.github.com/luk-/2722097 */
exports.buildQuery = function (obj, numPrefix, tempKey) {
    let output_string = [];
    Object.keys(obj).forEach(function (val) {
        let key = val;
        numPrefix && !isNaN(key) ? key = numPrefix + key : '';
        key = encodeURIComponent(String(key).replace(/[!'()*]/g, querystring.escape));
        tempKey ? key = tempKey + '[' + key + ']' : '';

        if (typeof obj[val] === 'object') {
            let query = exports.buildQuery(obj[val], null, key);
            output_string.push(query)
        }
        else {
            let value = encodeURIComponent(String(obj[val]).replace(/[!'()*]/g, querystring.escape));
            output_string.push(key + '=' + value)
        }
    });
    return output_string.join('&')
};

for just key value pairs.

function http_build_query(jsonObj) {
  const keys = Object.keys(jsonObj);
  const values = keys.map(key => jsonObj[key]);

  return keys
    .map((key, index) => {
      return `${key}=${values[index]}`;
    })
    .join("&");
};

console.log(http_build_query({username: 'asd', password: '1234'}));

Does

function http_build_query (obj, num_prefix , temp_key) {

    let output_string = [];
    Object.keys(obj).forEach(function (val) {
        let key = val;
        num_prefix  && !isNaN(key) ? key = num_prefix  + key : '';
        key = encodeURIComponent(String(key).replace(/[!'()*]/g, querystring.escape));
        temp_key ? key = temp_key + '[' + key + ']' : '';

        if (typeof obj[val] === 'object') {
            let query = http_build_query(obj[val], null, key);
            output_string.push(query);
        }
        else {
            let value = encodeURIComponent(String(obj[val]).replace(/[!'()*]/g, querystring.escape));
            output_string.push(key + '=' + value)
        }
    });
    return output_string.join('&')
  
  }
