JavaScript Mastery - Kata 5

kata5.js

// In this exercise, you will be given a normal string
//  of words and will turn it into a percent-encoded string 
//  by replacing all whitespace with %20.

// Percent Encoding
// Take a look at the following URL, specifically the last 
// part:

// This URL will perform a Google search for the term "lighthouse labs".
//  Notice that when the string "lighthouse labs" is part of a URL, the 
//  space is replaced with %20.

// If you want to add a parameter to a URL, there are certain characters 
// that must be encoded in order to make the URL valid. There are many
//  characters that must be encoded, including: , !, ", and #.

// For this exercise, you will only be focusing on replacing the space 
// with %20.

// Input
// const urlEncode = function(text) {
//   // Put your solution here
// };

// console.log(urlEncode("Lighthouse Labs"));
// console.log(urlEncode(" Lighthouse Labs "));
// console.log(urlEncode("blue is greener than purple for sure"));
// Expected Output
// Lighthouse%20Labs
// Lighthouse%20Labs
// blue%20is%20greener%20than%20purple%20for%20sure
// Instruction
// Create a function named urlEncode that will receive a string of words, 
//  and return that string with all of the whitespace characters converted
//   to %20. If there is whitespace on the outside of the string,
//    like in the second example
//  above, you should only replace the whitespace within the string.


let url = "  this is a sample"

function urlEncodeSpace(url){ 

    let encodedString = ''

for ( i in url){
    // console.log(url[i])


if(url[i] === ' '){
    encodedString += "%20"
}else { 
    encodedString += url[i]
}

if(encodedString[0] === " "){
    encodedString.pop()
}


}
return encodedString;
}

console.log(urlEncodeSpace(url))
