a tiny zero dependency library to join strings with slashes in them that isn't too smart about it!
npm install safe-joina tiny zero dependency library to join strings with slashes in them that isn't too smart about it!
``
yarn add safe-join # or npm i safe-join
`ts
import { safeJoin } from 'safe-join'
safeJoin('foo', 'bar') // 'foo/bar'
safeJoin('foo/', 'bar') // 'foo/bar'
safeJoin('foo/', '/bar') // 'foo/bar'
safeJoin('foo', '/bar') // 'foo/bar'
safeJoin('http://foo/', '/bar') // 'http://foo/bar'
// works on multiple args too
safeJoin('foo', '/bar/', '/baz') // 'foo/bar/baz'
// etc
`
You might normally use path.join for this in Node but this works in the browser, also it doesnt swallow /'s when you need //.
Uses typescript because why not.
It does NOT handle query strings for you e.g. safeJoin("https://foo", "bar", "&search=baz") so be sure to handle those on your own. or use https://github.com/jfromaniello/url-join
so you know exactly what this
`ts``
export function safeJoin(...args: string[]) {
return args.reduce(_safeJoin)
}
// thanks to https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1106839872096985088
function _safeJoin(a: string, b: string) {
return a.replace(/\/$/, '') + '/' + b.replace(/^\//, '')
}
