Best Practices
1. URL Construction
// ✅ Good - Use URL encoding for special characters
function buildBookingURL(baseUrl, params) {
const url = new URL(baseUrl);
Object.keys(params).forEach(key => {
if (params[key]) {
url.searchParams.set(key, params[key]);
}
});
return url.toString();
}
const bookingUrl = buildBookingURL(
'https://bookme.botsplash.com/account/agent',
{
firstName: 'John',
lastName: 'O\'Connor', // Will be properly encoded
email: 'john.oconnor@example.com'
}
);
