# `pathcat` 🐾

Simply path/URL building in JavaScript. Intelligently handles URL params and query strings.

This library owes thanks to urlcat, but unfortunately it seems to be abandoned. You can mostly use pathcat as a replacement.

## Features

- Very intuitive API
- Supports URL params and query string
- Avoids double slashes
- Zero dependencies
- Absolutely tiny install size

## Install

```sh
yarn add pathcat
```

## Usage

```typescript
import { pathcat } from "pathcat";

pathcat("https://example.com", "/:id", {
id: 123,
});
// => 'https://example.com/123'

pathcat("https://example.com", "/:id", {
id: "123",
foo: "bar",
});
// => 'https://example.com/123?foo=bar'

// Base URL is optional, works on just paths as well.
pathcat("/users/:user_id/posts/:post_id", {
user_id: "123",
post_id: 456,
cool_flag: true,
});
// => '/users/123/posts/456?cool_flag=true'

// You can also use arrays for query string values
pathcat("/users/:user_id/posts/:post_id", {
user_id: "123",
post_id: 456,
cool_flag: true,
fields: ["title", "body"],
});
// => '/users/123/posts/456?cool_flag=true&fields=title&fields=body'
```

## Benchmark:

Results when running on an M3 Max

```
$ node --import=tsx benchmark.ts

With a base URL x 2,628,829 ops/sec ±0.70% (95 runs sampled)
With no base URL x 3,160,695 ops/sec ±0.50% (96 runs sampled)
With a base URL, and no params x 70,782,166 ops/sec ±1.93% (88 runs sampled)
```

## Notes:

- Any params or query string values that are `undefined` will be omitted.
- Params that were not specified in the object will be left as is.
