Best Practices for URLs When Concatenating Domains with Paths
-
Concatenating Domains with Paths:
- Domain: Avoid trailing slashes (e.g., "example.com" over "example.com/").
- Path: Start with a slash (e.g., "/api/endpoint" over "api/endpoint" or "//api/endpoint").
-
Removing Trailing Slashes:
- JavaScript Function:
function removeTrailingSlash(str) { return str.endsWith('/') ? str.slice(0, -1) : str; }
Following these practices ensures proper URL formatting, avoids issues, and promotes clean and standardized URLs.
