Concatenate Url

support
1

Hello,

I’m sure there is the answer somewhere but I keep struggling. I want to generate this Url in my template (an edit link):

https://github.dev/mat/website/blob/main/content/_index.md

After many tries, I’ve came up with that:

{{ path.Join .Site.Params.editUrl .File.Path }}

It works but it removes a slash in .Site.Params.editUrl.
https://github.dev become https:/github.dev

So my url is missing a slash to work properly:

https:/github.dev/mat/website/blob/main/content/_index.md

I probably don’t use the right function, but I always ended up with not the good url whatever I tried.

Thanks for your help !

Replace path.Join with add to make it handle schemas like “https://”.

You need to take care of slash at start and end of the strings when using add. It will not like path.Join handle that for you.

Thank you very much both for your answers.

This is my code now and it works:

{{/* .File.Path has a backslash from windows, this transform it into a normal slash */}}
{{ $cleanUrl := path.Join .File.Path }}
{{ $editUrl := add .Site.Params.editUrl $cleanUrl }}
