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

Typescript custom solution:

export function pathJoin(parts: string[], sep: string) {
  return parts
    .map(part => {
      const part2 = part.endsWith(sep) ? part.substring(0, part.length - 1) : part;
      return part2.startsWith(sep) ? part2.substr(1) : part2;
    })
    .join(sep);
}

expect(pathJoin(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], '/')).toEqual('a/b/c/d');
expect(pathJoin(['a/', '/b/', 'c/', 'd'], '/')).toEqual('a/b/c/d');
expect(pathJoin(['http://abc.de', 'users/login'], '/')).toEqual('http://abc.de/users/login');
