This example demonstrates how to retrieve URL parameters using vanilla JavaScript, specifically extracting an `id` value from the query string. It shows two functions: `getQueryParams()`, which parses the search portion of the URL into a key-value object by splitting on `&` and `=`, and `getUrlId()`, which returns the `id` parameter from that object. The code relies on the browser’s `window.location.search` API and basic string manipulation, with no external libraries. It highlights a lightweight, dependency-free approach to handling query parameters for tasks like loading specific content based on a URL identifier.

This example demonstrates a minimal URL-based interaction pattern for a web page. It shows how a query string parameter, such as `?targetDiv`, is parsed with jQuery and used to reveal a specific hidden element on the page. The code uses `$(location).attr('search')` to retrieve the raw query string, strips the leading question mark with `substring(1)`, and then calls a `doStuff()` function that targets the named div via `$("#" + targetDiv).show()`. No data visualization or charting library is involved; the focus is purely on client-side DOM manipulation driven by the page’s URL.

express sample and quick examples and descriptions of body, params, and query

This example demonstrates the differences between `req.body`, `req.params`, and `req.query` in ExpressJS, showing how each carries client data to the server. The code pairs ReactJS frontend components with Axios requests against a backend using ExpressJS and body-parser. It illustrates POST/PUT/PATCH requests sending data in `req.body`, GET/DELETE requests embedding values in URL routes via `req.params`, and GET requests appending key-value pairs through `req.query`. The metaphor of a restaurant clarifies the client-server-database relationship.

Link anatomy

This interactive HTML page dissects a URL into its semantic components—protocol, host, port, pathname, search, and hash—by displaying each part as a clickable span. Hovering over a component highlights it with a tooltip label, while clicking sets the page’s hash to that component’s ID, updating the browser location. The implementation uses jQuery for click handling and CSS pseudo-elements for tooltips, with a fixed example URL hardcoded in the markup.

This example demonstrates how to parse a URL query string, such as `key=val&key_2=val_2&key_3=val_3`, into a map of key-value pairs using C++ standard library components. The code iterates through each character, distinguishing between keys and values based on `=` and `&` delimiters, and writes the results into a `std::map<std::string, std::string>`. It relies on `std::ostringstream` for building substrings and `std::map` for ordered storage. This is a pure text-processing utility with no visualization or rendering libraries; it focuses solely on data preparation.

Javascript Redirect to current page another controller

This example demonstrates a JavaScript function that redirects the browser to a new URL, specifically for impersonating a user account. The function, `impersonate(id)`, first shows a confirmation dialog and, upon user approval, constructs a URL path like `Account/PresentationImpersonateTo/` followed by the given ID, then sets `window.location.href` to perform the navigation. It uses the native browser APIs `confirm()` and `window.location.href`, with no external libraries or frameworks. The code is a straightforward client-side controller action, triggered by user interaction, and relies on the current page’s origin for the redirect target.

JS tips

This example demonstrates common JavaScript programming patterns and techniques through concise code snippets. It covers assignment shortcuts, existential checks, JSONP implementation with jQuery’s `getJSON`, a polyfill for `Object.create`, function proxying, reserved words, and the `array.indexOf` method. The code is presented as a gist, showing practical APIs like `Object.create`, `func.apply`, and `Array.indexOf`, with comments explaining each pattern and equivalent syntax in CoffeeScript.

This example shows a JavaScript function called `quickCheck` that is intended to search an array for a given element. The code uses a `for` loop and the `Array.indexOf` method to iterate through the array, though the loop’s logic is incomplete and does not yet return a result. It targets a console output via `console.log` to test the function with an array of vegetables and a search term. No external libraries are used; the code relies solely on native JavaScript array methods.

Ellipses

This example demonstrates how JavaScript’s variadic function handling can be visualized through a series of ellipses, each representing a function call’s arguments. The code defines helper functions like `variadic` and `unary` to transform fixed-arity functions into variadic ones, then logs the results of calls such as `unary('coo', 'lee', 'oh')` and `variadic(bianary)('why', 'hello', 'you')`. The visualization maps these argument arrays to elliptical shapes, showing the difference between named and variadic parameters. No external libraries are used; the rendering relies on plain JavaScript array manipulation and the `Array.prototype.slice` method.
