Connection request treated as a query

[ghost]

I connected to the database as the following:

const db = require('monk')('user:examplepassword?@localhost:27017/test');

It returns error:

Error: query parameter @localhost:27017/test is an incomplete value pair

But if the password doesn't have a question mark, it connects. The problem is, my password HAS a question mark, so I can't authenticate to the database.

Oh that's a weird one. Did you try encodeURIComponent it? (not sure if that will work tho)

Yes it worked.

const url = 'user:' + encodeURIComponent('examplepassword') + '@localhost:27017/test';
const db = require('db')(url);

Thanks!
