Querystring Helper 2: Implement `stringifyQueryString`
Implement stringifyQueryString(params) that converts an object into a URL querystring. This is common in FE screens (building filter URLs, pagination links, deep links). Rules (Medium version): 1) params is a plain object with values of type string | number | boolean | null | undefined…
What you’ll build / What this tests
This premium javascript coding focuses on Querystring Helper 2: Implement stringifyQueryString. You’ll apply string and objects thinking with intermediate level constraints. The prompt emphasizes Implement stringifyQueryString(params) that converts an object into a URL querystring. This is common in FE screens….
Learning goals
- Translate the prompt into a clear javascript API signature and return shape.
- Apply string, objects, arrays techniques to implement querystring helper 2: implement stringifyquerystring.
- Handle intermediate edge cases without sacrificing readability.
- Reason about time/space complexity and trade-offs in javascript.
Key decisions to discuss
- Define the exact input/output contract before coding.
- Choose iteration vs higher-order methods for readability.
- Prioritize predictable edge-case handling over micro-optimizations.
Evaluation rubric
- Correctness: covers required behaviors and edge cases.
- Clarity: readable structure and predictable control flow.
- Complexity: avoids unnecessary work for large inputs.
- API discipline: no mutation of inputs; returns expected shape.
- Testability: solution is easy to unit test.
Constraints / Requirements
- Preserve input order and handle empty arrays safely.
- Handle empty strings and mixed casing without errors.
- Avoid prototype pitfalls when reading object keys.
- Avoid deep recursion issues on large inputs.
- Do not mutate input arrays; preserve item order.
- Avoid mutating nested objects; return new references.
- Handle empty or missing inputs without throwing errors.
- Keep runtime close to linear time where possible.
- Prefer a pure function: no side effects beyond the return value.
Mini snippet (usage only)
// Example usage
const params = /* querystring helper 2: implement `stringifyquerystring` input */;
const result = stringifyQueryString(params);
console.log(result);
// Edge case check
const empty = params ?? null;
const fallback = stringifyQueryString(params);
console.log(fallback);
// Expected: describe output shape, not the implementation
// (no solution code in preview)Common pitfalls
- Mutating inputs instead of returning a new value.
- Skipping edge cases like empty input, duplicates, or nulls.
- Overlooking time complexity for large inputs.
