How it works...
All three created template tags behave similarly. At first, they read the current query parameters from the request.GET dictionary-like QueryDict object to a new list of (key, value) query_params tuples. Then, the values are updated depending on the positional arguments and keyword arguments. Lastly, the new query string is formed via the helper method defined first. In this process, all spaces and special characters are URL-encoded, and the ampersands connecting the query parameters are escaped. This new query string is returned to the template.
To read more about the QueryDict objects, refer to the official Django documentation at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/request-response/#querydict-objects.
