Query param without value

[crystalfp]

If I want to pass a boolean query parameter to a GET request like:
http://localhost/api/users?refresh that is, without passing a value to the query parameter, I should do this:

await spec()
  .get(endpointUsers)
  .withQueryParams("refresh", "")
  .expectStatus(200)
  .toss();

That call generates the following GET: http://localhost/api/users?refresh=

Do you think could be a good idea to modify .withQueryParams() to accept the key only and generate the original GET? I know, it is a minor feature, but cost almost nothing to implement.

Thanks for considering!

I think we can mention the partial query param in the url.

await spec()
  .get(endpointUsers + '?refresh')
  .expectStatus(200)
  .toss();

The suggestion does not work if you have also other .withQueryParams() params.
For example, this code:

	await spec()
		.get("http://localhost/api/kb?rank")
		.withQueryParams("query", "cosa")
		.withQueryParams("lang", "it")

generates the following invalid URL:

"http://localhost/api/kb?rank?query=cosa&lang=it",

I know, I could build the query string myself:

await spec()
	.get("http://localhost/api/kb?rank&query=cosa&lang=it")

But it means to ignore a useful spec method that has a simple fix.

The simplest fix is in node_modules\pactum\src\helpers\helper.js adding after line 33:

if(query[prop] === "")
        plainQuery = plainQuery + prop;
else

A more clear solution is to change also Spec.js and Spec.d.ts to accept a missing value internally transforming it into ""
What do you think?

This feature is released in v3.2.4

Fantastic! Thanks for the very fast response.
The only very minor thing is that this parameter is not listed in the .inspect() output under queryParams:

  console.warn
    {
      "url": "http://localhost/api/kb?query=rosa&lang=it&rank",
      "method": "GET",
      "queryParams": {
        "query": "rosa",
        "lang": "it"
      },
      "path": "/api/kb",
      "timeout": 3000
    }

Anyway, thanks for the functionality! And don't forget to update the documentation at https://pactumjs.github.io/api/requests/withQueryParams.html
