string::escape_path Escape Strings for URL Paths
string::escape_path(string)
escape_path(string)
string::escapePath(string)
escapePath(string)
The escape_path function encodes a string so it can be safely included as a segment of a URL path.
Characters that are not valid in a URL path segment are replaced with their percent-encoded equivalents.
Key details:
" ") are encoded as %!<(MISSING)/code>."/") and other reserved characters are also encoded (%!F(MISSING), etc.).This is particularly useful when inserting dynamic values into a URL:
https://localhost?files={{ escape_path(files) }}
escape_path and escape_uriescape_path

escape_uri
