encodeURIComponent
encodeURIComponent(text: String): String
Escapes certain characters in a URI component using UTF-8 encoding.
There can be only four escape sequences for characters composed of two
"surrogate" * characters. encodeURIComponent
escapes all characters
except the following: alphabetic, decimal digits, - _ . ! ~ * ' ( )
.
Note that encodeURIComponent
differs from encodeURI
in that it encodes
reserved characters and the Number sign #
of encodeURI
:
Type | Includes |
---|---|
Reserved characters |
|
Unescaped characters |
alphabetic, decimal digits, - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ) |
Number sign |
Example
This example encodes a variety of URI components.
