Accepting '#' in query string in Joi

I have an end point that accept username as query string but this username might have # in the beginning so in Joi I got this

{
    "code": 1021,
    "message": "Request data model validation has failed",
    "id": "276ba99a-2abc-4505-b66a-dad2a8ger5",
    "explanation": [
        "`username` is not allowed to be empty"
    ]
}

how can I make my query string accept # in the beginning using Joi?

Solution

  • You have to encode your param before adding it to the URL.

    const url = 'https://example.com?username=#allia';
const response = await fetch(encodeURIComponent(url));

    Or you can replace # by %23
