getURLParams() reference clarification

[tobyhoward]

How would this new feature help increase access to p5.js?

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• Accessibility (Web Accessibility)
• Build tools and processes
• Color
• [x ] Core/Environment/Rendering
• Data
• DOM
• Events
• Friendly error system
• Image
• IO (Input/Output)
• Localization
• Math
• Unit Testing
• Typography
• Utilities
• WebGL
• Other (specify if possible)

Feature enhancement details:

getURLParams() returns undefined when called from a sketch run within the p5.js editor, because the code there is embedded in an iframe. getURLParams() works correctly when the sketch is viewed via the present or share urls. I suggest adding a sentence about this to the getURLParams() ref page at https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5/getURLParams.

cheers

I believe we have to do changes here

p5.js/src/core/environment.js

Line 707 in c1640a7

* Gets the current URL params as an Object.
