Hash parameters special chars

[felixsanchez-igz]

Parameters passed into Awake method get truncated at first special char position

If you read the API reference:
http://intelygenz.github.com/iris/api/v0.4.2/symbols/iris.html#.Goto

You can send parameters to the target screen as ... /screen?param1=value1¶m2=value2/ ..., remember apply encodeURI() to the parameter values.

ris.Goto("#home/section/subsection");

// Call with screen parameters
iris.Goto("#home/section?id=5&name=example%20name/subsection");

// Remember encode param values
var title = encodeURI("Title Example");
iris.Goto("#home/section?title=" + title);

Despite we correctly encode URL, it doesn't work for us.

We invoke iris.Goto( "#home/uis?id=5&name=example%20name" );
, or we set http://localhost:8081/#home/uis?id=5&name=example%20name in navigation bar,
but in both cases the value we get for 'name' parameter at Awake method is just "example", neither "example name" nor "example%20name".

Any suggestion?

We cannot emulate the error.

What iris version are you using?

You can try to execute the "iris-example" to confirm that iris is working correctly:

http://localhost:8080/library.html#books/edit?t=Title%20Example&a=Author/details

Sentence: iris.Goto( "#home/uis?id=5&name=example%20name" );

Result, value at 'uis' Awake:
iris.0.4.1: name="example"; erroneous, as reported
iris 0.4.2.beta: `name="example"``; erroneous, as reported

After upgrading to iris.0.4.2, sentence: iris.Goto( "#uis?id=5&name=example%20name" );

Result, value at 'uis' Awake:
iris 0.4.2: name="example name"; fine, as reported

Perhaps this problem was a colateral effect that went undetected but solved in last revision. Or perhaps its fix has not been listed in iris.0.4.2 release notes, or included but under that generic [fix] Small code refactoring and fixed bugs. reference ;).

Thank you very much.

A lot of thanx Felix for your help!

Dot . is a valid character in URLs, but iris.Goto( "#uis?domain=ibm.com" ); still results in domain="ibm" at 'uis' Awake.

[felixsanchez-igz]

The same for -, @ and some other characters:

encodeURI("!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_{|}´") = "!%22#$%25&'()*+,-./:;%3C=%3E?@%5B%5C%5D%5E_%60%7B%7C%7D%C2%B4"`

Perhaps /(\w*)=([\w%!#$'()*+,-\.:;\?@_~]*)/g is more convenient to get nav params than /(\w*)=([\w%]*)/g

There are two bugs:

1 - You are right, the regular expression is wrong, we will use /([.\w_-])=([^&])/g

2 - We must use the encodeURIComponent() instead of encodeURI()
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/75980/best-practice-escape-or-encodeuri-encodeuricomponent for more details.

Well, an regex like /([.\w_-]+)=... could better suit our params pattern, it is supposed that param name is mandatory (so ?dir=XXX&=YY should not be valid). I don't realize if other changes are needed.
