API parameter case correction bug

Expected behavior

I am using the API Data Source on a page to connect to firebase realtime database via the REST API that firebase provides.
There is a bug with the Query Parameters part of the API Data Source that is used to filter data results.
When I enter the parameter names for firebase queries they are case-sensitive.
This is the firebase docs for reference.
Filtering requires the use of case sensitive parameters such as:

startAt
orderBy

…YOUR TEXT HERE …

Actual behavior

The API Data Source connector incorrectly adusts the parameters to all lower-case, even if I enter the values as camel-case.

#2

Yes, that’s a real issue and Wappler doesn’t deal with it well. Whether it’s firebase or otherwise.

To circumvent it, use Set Value to assign your own variables based on the incoming names.

i.e. (Pseudocode)

my_startdate -> Set Value … {{$_GET.startDate}}

Msg me if any issues and I’ll help
