URL (helping-js/core/url)

Path joining for URLs or POSIX-like segments, and query parameter reading (works with a URL string in Node; uses window.location in the browser when url is omitted).

Imports

import { pathJoin, getUrlParam } from 'helping-js/core/url'

API

Function	Role
pathJoin(...parts)	Join with /, normalise slashes
getUrlParam(name, url?)	Query value or undefined; in Node without document, pass url

Samples

Static + route segments

pathJoin('/api', 'v1', 'users') // '/api/v1/users'
pathJoin('https://a.com/', '/b') // 'https://a.com/b'

Express: build redirect or asset URL

import { pathJoin } from 'helping-js/core/url'

const base = process.env.PUBLIC_URL || ''
const asset = pathJoin(base, 'static', 'logo.png')

Browser: read query

import { getUrlParam } from 'helping-js/core/url'

const tab = getUrlParam('tab') // current page

Node: parse arbitrary URL string

const token = getUrlParam('token', 'https://app.example/cb?token=abc')
