Native encodeURIComponent
doesn't support encoding exclamation mark - !
which I need to have in url's query param encoded properly..
node.js querystring.stringify()
doesn't it as well..
is the only way to use custom function like - https://github.com/kvz/phpjs/blob/master/functions/url/urlencode.js#L30 ?
You could re-define the native function to add that functionality.
Here's an example of extending encodeURIComponent
to handle exclamation marks.
// adds '!' to encodeURIComponent
~function () {
var orig = window.encodeURIComponent;
window.encodeURIComponent = function (str) {
// calls the original function, and adds your
// functionality to it
return orig.call(window, str).replace(/!/g, '%21');
};
}();
encodeURIComponent('!'); // %21
You could also add a new function, if you wanted the code to be shorter.
That's up to you, though.
// separate function to add '!' to encodeURIComponent
// shorter then re-defining, but you have to call a different function
function encodeURIfix(str) {
return encodeURIComponent(str).replace(/!/g, '%21');
}
encodeURIfix('!'); // %21
