URL parameters are ways of passing information to a website through the URL. For example, the URL http://www.server/app?message=Hello would send the message ‘Hello’.
psychTestR can both get and set URL parameters. This can be useful when chaining multiple parts of a web-based experiment.
For a demo of this functionality in action, open R and execute the following:
library(psychTestR)
# Demo: getting URL parameters
demo.get_url_params()
# Demo: setting URL parameters
demo.set_url_params()To see how to use this functionality in your own experiments, simply inspect the source code.
library(psychTestR)
# Source code: getting URL parameters
print(demo.get_url_params)
# Source code: setting URL parameters
print(demo.set_url_params)
