I have a field that I can insert a certain name and find the user with the correspondent name,that was developed in react. My code works when that name is like "test", but if the name is like "this test" (if the name has a space on it), my backend receives the name in this format ("this%20test") and when I am searching for that name on the database, the entry returns null. How can I solve this? I want to solve this on my frontend because I think it´s the best option.

It seems you are passing parameter as query params thats why they are getting url encoded, in your backend url decode the paramter to get the actual value. If you send the parameter in POST body, you will not face this issue. – Hemant Patel Mar 30 '19 at 18:40

Any parameters passed as query params will be url-encoded and passed to your backend. You need to url decode parameters in your backend.
