Javascript: How to add an optional forward slash to a template literal

Time:04-06

So I am trying to have two optional arguments and an optional forward slash. The reason I need an optional forward slash is because the base url is just localhost:3000/web/reserve not localhost:3000/web/reserve/. The default empty arguments are working as expected when passing nothing into webpageCheck however I can't get the optional (/) to work. If I did http://localhost:3000/web/reserve/${label}${count} it would fail when calling webpageCheck because there is no forward slash at the end. Does anyone know how to do this?

const web = {
        label: 'Hello',
        count: '10',
    };
    
const webpageCheck = (label = '', count = '') => {
     const optionalSlash = '/'
      cy.url().should(
         'eq',
         `http://localhost:3000/web/reserve${optionalSlash   label}${optionalSlash   count}`
        );
    };
    
 webpageCheck()

So, it sounds like the optionalSlash should be in the string before label or count, and if label or count is missing, we skip adding the optionalSlash for that variable. If that's true, you could do a simple ternary when constructing the string.

`http://localhost:3000/web/reserve${
  label ? optionalSlash   label : ''
  }${
  count ? optionalSlash   count : ''}`

You should try to define a string with your logic, something like this:

const web = {
        label: 'Hello',
        count: '10',
    };
    
const webpageCheck = (label = '', count = '') => {
     //Logic example
     let addressOptionsString=(label!==''? ("/"   label):'')   (count!==''? ("/"   count):'')
      cy.url().should(
         'eq',
         `http://localhost:3000/web/reserve${adressOptionsString}`
        );
    };
    
 webpageCheck()

You could collect the parts in an array, filter it by boolean and join with wanted separator.

const
    web = { label: 'Hello', count: '10' },
    webpageCheck = (label = '', count = '', separator = '/') => 
        ['http://localhost:3000/web/reserve', label, count]
            .filter(Boolean)
            .join(separator);

console.log(webpageCheck());
console.log(webpageCheck(web.label));
console.log(webpageCheck(web.label, web.count));
