A boolean value.

Examples

Check for parameter with specified name

This example shows how to check if the query string has any parameters with a particular name.

const url = new URL("https://example.com?foo=1&bar=2&foo=3");
const params = new URLSearchParams(url.search);

// has() returns true if the parameter is in the query string
console.log(`bar?:\t${params.has("bar")}`);
console.log(`bark?:\t${params.has("bark")}`);
console.log(`foo?:\t${params.has("foo")}`);

The log below shows whether the parameters bar, bark, and foo, are present in the query string.

bar?:  true
bark?: false
foo?:  true

Check for parameter with specified name and value

This example shows how to check whether the query string has a parameter that matches both a particular name and value.

const url = new URL("https://example.com?foo=1&bar=2&foo=3");
const params = new URLSearchParams(url.search);

// has() returns true if a parameter with the matching name and value is in the query string
console.log(`bar=1?:\t${params.has("bar", "1")}`);
console.log(`bar=2?:\t${params.has("bar", "2")}`);
console.log(`foo=4?:\t${params.has("foo", "4")}`);

Only the second value above should be true, as only the parameter name bar with value 2 is matched.

bar=1?: false
bar=2?: true
foo=4?: false

If your browser does not support the value option the method will match on the name, and all the results should be true.
