How to use global URLSearchParams in node

Question

I am writing a (client-side) JavaScript library (a node/angular module). In this library, I make use of the URLSearchParams class.

const form = new URLSearch         


        

Answer 1

If we want to support big range of nodejs versions in our application , we could use some dirty code like this :

if(typeof URLSearchParams === 'undefined'){
    URLSearchParams = require('url').URLSearchParams;
}

Note: It is not best practice to require with a condition.
