根据NodeJs中的RFC 1738编码字符串

Question

I want to encode a string as per RFC 1738 in NodeJs app. This is required in Twitter API documentation . I found no package to achieve this. Has someone done this already? I wanted too register my webhook url to twitter app.

Answer 1

You can use the native javascript method encodeURIComponent .

To be compliant with the RFC you would need to handle these additional characters:

function rawurlencode (str) {
  return encodeURIComponent(str)
    .replace(/!/g, '%21')
    .replace(/'/g, '%27')
    .replace(/\(/g, '%28')
    .replace(/\)/g, '%29')
    .replace(/\*/g, '%2A')
}
