There are a few potential issues with the following code:
The URI variables aren't being encoded properly
Our editor or commit hooks might format this to a multi-line string, which would add a new line character to the URL
And we might accidentally use the wrong character ? instead of & to concat new query params. We're human, we make mistakes.
Good news! There's a better way to handle all of these issues with a helpful Web API class, URL✨
On top of being a safer way to create and manage our URLs in the browser, it's more readable and maintainable for other devs working on the same project.
