Hi there fellow Wapplers,
I have a small issue in setting up the password reset link flow, as beautifully explained by @mebeingken in his cool 2nd Wappler course.
For testing purposes I often use gmail addresses like:
jelle+test1@gmail.com
jelle+test2@gmail.com
jelle+test3@gmail.com
etc
It’s pretty cool because you can create multiple accounts with one e-mail address!
However, on setting up the password reset page I need to pull the email address from the url. like so:
https://mydomain.com/password_reset?email=jelle+test1@gmail.com&hash=xxxxxxxxxxxx
Because the + sign is not escaped or replaced by %2b the hidden field with the query parameter email doesn’t fill the email correctly. It displays jelletest1@gmail.com, which doesn’t match my database.
I’ve tried the encodeurl formatter, but that doesn’t seem to replace the + sign.
On this learning page a similar formatter does seem to do the trick:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.ASP
text=jelle%2Btest1%40gmail.com
Does anyone know of a formatter that does this trick or any ideas or links to topics that explain how to do this?
Thank you so much for any response

ps: I’m on a NodeJS project.
