A dojo JsonRest will likely send something like this to the server:

/FooObject/?foo=value1&sortBy=+foo,-bar

I have express and mongodb on the other side.

It’s easy enough to get foo. But then, I was just about to write my own function to parse sortBy when I realised: there must be a better way? Surely, this is a common problem which should have an established solution…? Maybe a well-known middleware that is escaping me right now?

I will also need to make it possible to add wildcards (/FooObject/?foo=value%&sortBy=+foo,-bar so that anything starting with value will work. But then again, I wonder if there is some kind of established pattern for this too?

    Well, there is no way to do it… time to write something and place it in GitHub!
