Get Query Parameters from a URL in one easy step

This function extracts query parameters from a given URL using the URL and URLSearchParams objects, then converts them into a key-value object.

const getParameters = URL => Object
	.fromEntries(new URLSearchParams(new URL(URL).search));

It works by:

1. Creating a URL object from the given string.

2. Using URLSearchParams to parse the query string.

3. Converting the parsed parameters into an object with Object.fromEntries.

Use Cases:

• Routing: Parse query parameters for client-side navigation.

• Data Extraction: Extract key information from web requests.

• Dynamic Content: Build pages or elements dynamically based on URL parameters.

Usage:

// Output: { search: 'easy', page: '3' }
console.log(getParameters('https://example.com?search=easy&page=3'));

This method is robust, handles complex query strings, and simplifies working with URLs in JavaScript.

• cropperjs - JavaScript image cropper

• html2canvas - The script allows you to take "screenshots" of webpages or parts of it, directly on the users browser. The screenshot is based on the DOM and as such may not be 100% accurate.

• three.js - The aim of the project is to create an easy-to-use, lightweight, cross-browser, general-purpose 3D library.
