mrp-url-generator

MR PORTER URL Generator

An isomorphic JavaScript library to generate URLs used across the MR PORTER sites, following our agreed formatting conventions.

Usage

npm i mrp-url-generator --save

ECMAScript 6

import { buildProductDetailsUrl } from 'mrp-url-generator';

/* alternatively, one can import the entire library with:
 * import urlGen from 'mrp-url-generator'; */

ECMAScript 5

var buildProductDetailsUrl = require('mrp-url-generator').buildProductDetailsUrl;

Browser

This is confirmed to work with Browserify and Webpack.

If, unfortunately, script tag includes are the only option, one must build the distributable manually with a tool such as Browserify:

browserify dist/index.js --outfile mrp-url-generator.js

API

All methods return Strings representing relative URLs

buildProductDetailsUrl(brandUrlKey, productName, productId, locale)

Returns a product details page link e.g:

//returns '/en-gb/mens/mario_super_designer/my-3456-woouuuuderful-trou-ers-are-great/12345'
buildProductDetailsUrl('Mario_Super_Designer', 'My 3456 Ẅöőuúüűderful Trou$ers! Are great', 12345, 'en-gb');

Setup

npm i -g babel
npm i

Babel?! Why does this project use ECMAScript 6?

• Harmony has a lot of useful enhancements, especially to String.prototype
• Once io.js has fully merged with Node.js, everything should just work!
• Native Harmony support is gradually improving

Tasks

• npm run dist - compiles the distributable to ECMAScript 5
• npm test - runs unit tests
