Should qss check for object properties and bail if there is none?

[mattpilott]

Hey Luke,

I ran into something today and after looking at the qss code wondered if it should return an empty string if the object passed to encode has no children/properties?

Just an idea, wondered what your take was on it

[lukeed]

Hey, that should already be the case. What are you passing in?

[mattpilott]

Hey, yes you are right my mistake the reason i asked is todo with the prefix still being output

encode({}, '?') = '?' for example

[lukeed]

Gotcha

No I think that's fine. That prefix is used for more than just a ? - for example, many pass their full API endpoint as the prefix to get a return value.

Plus /foo is effectively the same as /foo?.

IMO, any conditionality will have to exist on your end if you want it

Ok no problem, thanks for your time!

[lukeed]

Not a problem, thanks :)
