encodeURIComponent string  will do it   encodeURIComponent  Robert    DROP TABLE Students --      gt  gt   Robert   3B 20DROP 20TABLE 20Students 3B--    Passing SQL around in a query string might not be a good plan though   see this one

Note that URI encoding is good for the query part  it s not good for the domain  The domain gets encoded using punycode  You need a library like URI js to convert between a URI and IRI  Internationalized Resource Identifier    This is correct if you plan on using the string later as a query string    gt  encodeURIComponent  http   exampl   org ros   ros   ros      http 3A 2F 2Fexampl C3 A9 org 2Fros C3 A9 3Fros C3 A9 3Dros C3 A9    If you don t want ASCII characters like      and   to be escaped  use encodeURI instead    gt  encodeURI  http   exampl   org ros   ros   ros      http   exampl C3 A9 org ros C3 A9 ros C3 A9 ros C3 A9    However  for other use-cases  you might need uri-js instead    gt  var URI   require  uri-js    undefined  gt  URI serialize URI parse  http   exampl   org ros   ros   ros       http   xn--exampl-gva org ros C3 A9 ros C3 A9 ros C3 A9

Use the escape function of querystring  It generates a URL safe string   var escaped str   require  querystring   escape  Photo on 30-11-12 at 8 09 AM  2 jpg    console log escaped str      prints  Photo 20on 2030-11-12 20at 208 09 20AM 20 232 jpg
