boost::urls::params_ref::set

Set a value

Synopsis

Declared in header <boost/url/params_ref.hpp>

iterator
set(
    core::string_view key,
    core::string_view value,
    ignore_case_param ic = = {});

Description

This function performs one of two actions depending on the value of this->contains( key, ic ).

  • If key is contained in the view then one of the matching elements has its value changed to the specified value. The remaining elements with a matching key are erased. Otherwise,

  • If key is not contained in the view, then the function apppends the param { key, value }.

All iterators are invalidated.

url u( "?id=42&id=69" );

u.params().set( "id", "none" );

assert( u.params().count( "id" ) == 1 );
this->count( key, ic ) == 1 && this->find( key, ic )->value == value

Linear in this->url().encoded_query().size().

Strong guarantee.

Calls to allocate may throw.

Return Value

An iterator to the appended or modified element.

Parameters

Name Description

key

The key to match. By default, a case-sensitive comparison is used.

value

The value to assign. The empty string still counts as a value. That is, has_value for the element is true.

ic

An optional parameter. If the value ignore_case is passed here, the comparison is case-insensitive.
