westonwatson / querystring.js
Last active December 15, 2015 21:39
parse a(n) URI and return an object with the Key Value pairs. Original Code from the Answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/979975/how-to-get-the-value-from-url-parameter. Check the history for any modifications or compare to the original in the before mentioned Question URL.
//I refactored this to except a parameter, as I would like to parse many URI Queries
function parseQueryString(query) {
//let's use an object, arrays aren't always the best for Key Value Pairs IMHO
var query_string = {};
//original code didn't take in params.
//use "window.location.search.substring(1)" to get the current URI request.
//this splits each Key Value pair by the "&" seperator
var vars = query.split("&");

similar to my datafill.js gist, uses data attributes instead of DOM id's
datatags = function (dataObject,parentName){
if(typeof(dataObject) == 'object') {
for(var item in dataObject) {
var value = dataObject[item];
var targetId = parentName ? (parentName + "-" + item) : (item);
targetId = '[data-'+targetId+']';
var currentSelection = $(targetId);
if (typeof(value) == 'string' || typeof(value) == 'number' || typeof(value) == 'boolean'){
