query-string VS fetching-yelp-api

This method returns a string in a query string format using query-string package.

Then in your Vue mounted/onMounted you could read the value from the querystring using something like https://github.com/sindresorhus/query-string

We can make use of the query-string library to achieve the same thing. First, install query-string using the following command (or npm i query-string):

After setting those values our User is ready to log in! I'm using query-string to stringify the URL. Notice the URL starts with https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?. The next part of the process happens on Spotify's servers, our site never sees the user's username or password. Our site only sees the Auth Code for now.

Definitely this 👆 for OP's problem. For wrangling query strings in general, I haven't found anything better than query-string (not the deprecated nodejs querystring, this one is with a dash).

You could use npm packages like query-string and write a basic React Hook to sync URL query parameters to your state, and there are plenty of tutorials for this, but there’s a more straightforward solution.

query uses (configurable!) query-string to build and parse a query string. By default, query uses the same types for query params as query-string does.

In useState we pass a callback, It's called lazy initialization, and it's a perfect thing for performance. Query-string package is so useful, we use it to parse the asPath string, But if you don't like to use foreign libraries, you can implement your algorithm. If we pass our initial query to the hook, it will be mixed with the url-based initial query, then we set the query in the url. So:

Just one more remark: I will present all my code as screenshots. It'll give me possibility to highlight a newly typed code if I need to. For those who prefer copy and paste, everything is available on my GitHub.
