URL Querystring Data Source

Pass querystring params through to forms and text elements, automatically

Extract querystring parameters from the current URL, and apply the contents to tagged elements on your page.

Use Cases

Use querystring data in your FORM data, to collect it for submissions ( e.g. utm_ params )
Pass querystring data through to other links on the page, so it will get carried through
Use querystring data in visible fields, e.g. to personalize a page from an Email newsletter link click ( “Hey Mary!” )

Examples

$query

Shortcut. ? can be used as a shortcut in place of $query., for example ?name is equivalent to $query.name

Configure everything using simple custom attributes.

This tool will carry any URL querystring params into your webpage, and apply them as follows;

On any INPUT elements with a custom attribute of wfu-bind=X, WFU will replace the value attribute with the value of the querystring param X.
This works with type=hidden INPUT elements as well, so the data can be passed through invisibly.

<input wfu-bind="?name" type="hidden" name="test2-field">

The querystring param you use in wfu-bind is case-sensitive. ?name and ?Name are different.
Checkbox elements will be set to the boolean truthy value.
Select elements will be set to the matching select value.
On any other elements with a custom attribute of wfu-bind=X, WFU will replace the inner text of the element with the value of the querystring param X.

First, add the library as detailed in Quick Start.

For example, use wfu-bind=?name if you want to apply the value of querystring param name to that element.

See above for details.
