Can I use require(“path”).join to safely concatenate urls?

Question

Is this safe to use require(\"path\").join to concatenate URLs, for example:

require(\"path\").join(\"http://example.com\", \"ok\"); 
//returns          


        

Answer 1

We do it like this:

var _ = require('lodash');

function urlJoin(a, b) {
  return _.trimEnd(a, '/') + '/' + _.trimStart(b, '/');
}
