Query String Parameters

Most of the time a client blindly follows links from one resource to another or to its affordances. Sometimes, though, the URL needs query string parameters - for example pagination. If halchemy manages the href values, how can the client provide query string parameters when needed?

Most of the methods has parameters in its signature. This is a name/value pair object which is used by the method to build the query string.

Let's want to send a GET request from the root resource to the link whose relation is customers - and you want to add to the href the following query string parameters: ...?max_results=50&page=7

Here is how you do that using parameters

customers = api.get_from_rel(root, 'customers', parameters={'max_results':50,'page':7})

const customers = await api.getFromRel({
    resource: root,
    rel: 'customers',
    parameters: {
        max_results: 50,
        page: 1
    }
})
