How to get current request url full query params (as a keyword list if possible) inside a phoenix template?

For example for a current url like
http://localhost:4000/cosmetic/products?_utf8=✓&query=perfume&page=2,
I would like to get:

[_utf8: “✓”, query: “perfume”, page: “2”]

I tought I could use @conn.assigns.params but I realized it may contain other stuff that I don’t need here. I just want only the params present in the url after the ?.

This triggers parsing them if they haven’t been parsed yet.

To actually get the params from the query string, one could just do conn.query_params IIRC. They will return as a map though, not as a keywordlist (which would be dangerous anyway as it would open your system for atom overflow attacks)

I think this will do what you want

Ah you’re right!

elixir-plug/plug/blob/5ac4858d80fa5235a8aae2a5eed3c0c97ef14d31/lib/plug/conn.ex#L965-L981


def fetch_query_params(%Conn{query_params: %Unfetched{}} = conn, opts) do
  %{params: params, query_string: query_string} = conn
  Plug.Conn.Utils.validate_utf8!(query_string, InvalidQueryError, "query string")
  length = Keyword.get(opts, :length, 1_000_000)


  if byte_size(query_string) > length do
    raise InvalidQueryError,
          "maximum query string length is #{length}, got a query with #{byte_size(query_string)} bytes"
  end


  query_params = Plug.Conn.Query.decode(query_string)


  case params do
    %Unfetched{} -> %{conn | query_params: query_params, params: query_params}
    %{} -> %{conn | query_params: query_params, params: Map.merge(query_params, params)}
  end
end
