Sending url-encoded parameters in a superagent GET request

Question

With curl I can send GET-requests with url-encoded parameters as follows:

curl -G http://example.com --data-urlencode "key=val"

How do I do this with supertest / superagent? So far I've tried things like

const response = await request(app)
  .get('/')
  .type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
  .send({ key: 'val' });

Answer 1

Try to specify form in type like below:

const response = await request(app)
  .get('/')
  .type('form') // change into `form`
  .send({ key: 'val' });

Answer 2

You can make use of it this way:

const response = await request(app)
        .get('/')
        .send('key=val&key2=val2&key3=val3');
