Validating the existence of query string parameters

So I'm relaying a call to an api which accepts a bunch of optional query params.... When i make the API call... I try to pass on the query params like so...

{
  "key" : (await getSecret("openaustralia-key")),
  "date" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].date,
  "party" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].party,
  "state" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].state,
  "search" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].search
}

{
  "key" : (await getSecret("openaustralia-key")),
  "date" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].date,
  "party" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].party,
  "state" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].state,
  "search" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].search
}

I'm looking for a simple in-line way to validate the existence of each param, and only then and only populate the value.. Does anyone know how to do this in a clean and efficient manner? (NB: im not a javascript guru) Thanks in advance

Solution:

Alternately you can use the API call to pass multiple parameter at one to your API

further more ... I have developed the following :

{
  "key" : (await getSecret("openaustralia-key")),
  "date" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].date ? ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].date : "",
  "party" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].party ? ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].party : "",
  "state" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].state ? ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].state : "",
  "search" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].search ? ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].search : ""
}

{
  "key" : (await getSecret("openaustralia-key")),
  "date" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].date ? ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].date : "",
  "party" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].party ? ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].party : "",
  "state" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].state ? ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].state : "",
  "search" : ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].search ? ctx["root"]["request"]["query"].search : ""
}

but is there a cleaner way?

Hi @Abrar, You can pass the query params from the request body as variable.
