What

Honor the params alias when it is set from the onRequest hook, and stop duplicating array query params when hooks are re-run on retry.

Why

resolveFetchOptions() mirrors params into query only once, before hooks run. A hook that sets context.options.params = { d: 4 } therefore had no effect: the request URL was built from context.options.query alone, and the params were silently dropped. query set in the same hook already worked, which made the documented alias behave inconsistently.

The request builder now falls back to params when query is not set; both keys are still removed from the options afterwards.

Additionally, withQuery() appended array values to the existing values of the same key while scalars were replaced, so re-applying query options was cumulative: when a retryable request retried, the retry re-ran the onRequest hooks with the already-built URL, turning ?tag=x into ?tag=x&tag=x. Array values now replace existing values of the same key, matching the scalar set behavior (and ufo's add/replace semantics).

How to test

const path = await $fetch("/echo", {
  onRequest(ctx) {
    ctx.options.params = { d: 4 };
  },
});
// before: "/echo"   after: "/echo?d=4"

Retries no longer duplicate array params set in the hook (covered by does not duplicate params set in onRequest on retry, which uses a route failing with a retryable 408 on the first call and echoing the request URL on the second).

Walkthrough

String requests now use query when present, or fall back to params. For array-valued query options, nonempty arrays replace existing values for the same key. Tests cover request options set in onRequest and an array-valued option during a retry.

Changes: Request query option handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Apply query and params options src/fetch.ts, test/index.test.ts	String requests pass options.query or, when absent, options.params to withQuery. Tests check that setting either option in onRequest adds ?d=4 to the request URL.
Replace array query values on retry src/utils.url.ts, test/index.test.ts	For a nonempty array-valued query option, withQuery removes existing values for that key before appending the new values. A retry test checks that ?tag=x appears once.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: Low · up to e0b03

The PR makes params set in onRequest take effect and stops retries from duplicating array parameters. Two narrow gaps remain. A hook-set params value is still ignored when query options already exist. Array-valued query options now replace values already in the URL instead of adding to them. Both are bounded edge cases and need owner awareness.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR meets the coding requirement in issue [#477]. In src/fetch.ts, $fetchRaw builds the URL after onRequest hooks and uses context.options.query || context.options.params. It then removes both option keys. test/index.test.ts verifies that context.options.params = { d: 4 } produces /echo?d=4. The retry test verifies that array-valued params do not duplicate the query.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue [#477]. The src/fetch.ts change applies the requested params alias. The tests cover the hook behavior. The src/utils.url.ts change prevents duplicate array-valued parameters when the hook runs again during a retry, which supports the changed request behavior. No unrelated change is established by the supplied evidence.

Apply hook-set params when query already exists.

If initial or default query options exist, a hook that assigns { d: 4 } to context.options.params is ignored. URL construction selects the existing query and deletes params. Honor the hook assignment while preserving explicit query changes.

Confirmed. Worth adding the root cause: resolveFetchOptions merges defaults.query/defaults.params and input.query/input.params into a single object assigned to both options.query and options.params. So whenever any query/params pre-exists the hooks, options.query is already populated and the || params fallback can never fire, whichever key the hook assigns:

const $api = createFetch({ defaults: { query: { a: 1 } } }); // same with defaults.params
await $api("/echo", { onRequest(ctx) { ctx.options.params = { d: 4 } } });
// -> /echo?a=1 (hook params shadowed)
await $api("/echo", { onRequest(ctx) { ctx.options.query = { d: 4 } } });
// -> /echo?d=4 (resolved query replaced)

So a hook-assigned query fully replaces the resolved query while a hook-assigned params is shadowed by it. Before this change, a hook-assigned params was ignored in every case, so this is still a strict improvement for the no-pre-existing-query case from #477.

Closing the gap would need either merge semantics or tracking of post-resolution hook assignments, which feels like a design decision beyond this scoped fix (follow-up issue or maintainer call on the intended hook semantics).

@soufiane77-eng Thanks for the clarification. resolveFetchOptions assigns the same merged object to both options in src/utils.ts Line 115–116. If a hook replaces params, src/fetch.ts Line 118 still selects the existing query. If the hook replaces query, it selects the replacement.

The PR improves the case with no existing query, but the existing-query case remains. I agree that the intended replacement or merge semantics need a maintainer decision.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for that decision and the existing-query case?

Preserve query values from the original URL.

For /items?tag=existing with params: { tag: ["new"] }, the request previously contained both values. It now sends only tag=new, which can change filters or other request parameters. Prevent retry duplication without deleting values from the original URL.
