Hello, I’d like to URL encode / decode Strings in a simple compose-web only project. What would be the most sane way to do so? Coming from Java, java.net.URI is not accessible, obviously 🤔

[Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]]

there is decodeURI() and encodeURI() in js https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/decodeURI

if they are not available in kjs-stdlib, they can be used by declaring them as external functions:

external fun decodeURI(): String
external fun encodeURI(): String

[Steffen Funke]

Found it. It seems to one has to define the JS functions themselves

[Steffen Funke]

external fun decodeURIComponent(encodedURI: String): String
external fun encodeURIComponent(str: String): String

@Oleksandr Karpovich [JB] yes found it in this second 😄 Thanks
