路径元素的命名约定

Question

I'm actually looking for a good path convention and mostly where to store / between elements:

• At the end of the directory const dir = "example/"
• At the start of the following element const file = "/example1.md"
• None of them (allow to use Array.join('/') )

I was looking into the URL convention to try to find a good practice but it didn't talk about the path.

Example

Let's see into a real example

const base_url = process.env.API_URL // http://localhost:3000(/)
const endpoint_path = "(/)users/auth(/)" 
const endpoint_name = "(/)tfa-validation"

// Slash before of after
let path = base_url + endpoint_path + endpoint_name; 
// Or without slash
path = `${base_url}/${endpoint_path}/${endpoint_name}`; 
path = [base_url, endpoint_path, endpoint_name].join('/')

Do a convention already exist ? Do a solution have any advantage ?

Answer 1

I don't think there is any convention for this. So, my opinion is:

1. Do not use '/' either in the endpoint path or name. Keep them clean because you may want to use those variables isolated;
2. Use the join function because is cleaner.

const base_url = process.env.API_URL // http://localhost:3000
const endpoint_path = "users/auth" 
const endpoint_name = "tfa-validation"

path = [base_url, endpoint_path, endpoint_name].join('/')
