Answer 1

Works on Angular 6.0.6:

private getParams(query) {
let params: HttpParams = new HttpParams();
for (const key of Object.keys(query)) {
  if (query[key]) {
    if (query[key] instanceof Array) {
      query[key].forEach((item) => {
        params = params.append(`${key.toString()}[]`, item);
      });
    } else {
      params = params.append(key.toString(), query[key]);
    }
  }
}
return params;

}

Result:

/api/message?page=1&per=2&order_by=name&order_direction=asc&base_object%5B%5D=2&base_object%5B%5D=1
