Nodejs - Express - 处理API中可选查询字符串参数的最佳实践

Question

I want to make a API which have 5 optional query parameters, I want to know if there is a better way to handle this, right now I check each one of them with if conditions, which is kind of dirty! is there any way that I can handle all scenarios without using lot's of if conditions?

let songName = req.query.songName
let singerName = req.query.singerName
let albumName = req.query.albumName
let publishDate = req.query.publishDate

if(songName && singerName && albumName && publishDate) {
   const response = songs.filter(c => { 
      return c.songName === songName && c.singerName === singerName && c.albumName === albumName && c.publishDate === publishDate
   }
   res.send({
      "Data" : response
   })
}

if(songName && singerName && albumName && !publishDate) {
   const response = songs.filter(c => { 
      return c.songName === songName && c.singerName === singerName && c.albumName === albumName
   }
   res.send({
      "Data" : response
   })
}

if(songName && singerName && !albumName && publishDate) {
   const response = songs.filter(c => { 
      return c.songName === songName && c.singerName === singerName && c.publishDate === publishDate
   }
   res.send({
      "Data" : response
   })
}

if(songName && !singerName && albumName && publishDate) {
   const response = songs.filter(c => { 
      return c.songName === songName && c.albumName === albumName && c.publishDate === publishDate
   }
   res.send({
      "Data" : response
   })
}

if(!songName && singerName && albumName && publishDate) {
   const response = songs.filter(c => { 
      return c.singerName === singerName && c.albumName === albumName && c.publishDate === publishDate
   }
   res.send({
      "Data" : response
   })
}
.

Answer 1

I may find Lodash to be useful for this one:

const response = songs.filter(song => {
   return _.isEqual(req.query, _.pick(song, Object.keys(req.query)))
})

I suggest you to use Joi

It is very powerful library for javascript validations. You can make even conditional validations using it. See the complete docs .

I created basic schema for your scenario here.

// validation
const schema = Joi.object().keys({
    songName: Joi.string()
    singerName: Joi.string()
    albumName: Joi.string()
    publishDate: Joi.date()
});

const { error, value } = Joi.validate(req.query, schema, { abortEarly: false, allowUnknown: false });
if (error !== null) return res.send(400, { code: 400, message: "validation error", error: error.details });

It is easier to read and understand for other developers too. You can standardized the validations in the overall project.

You could use the ternary operator to do this all in one query. If the parameter is defined you check for equality and else you just return true. This could look like this:

const response = songs.filter(c => {
    return (songName ? (c.songName === songName) : true) &&
           (singerName ? (c.singerName === singerName) : true) &&
           (albumName ? (c.albumName === albumName) : true);
});

res.send({
    "Data": response
})
