Overview
========
[![browser support](https://ci.testling.com/lydell/resolve-url.png)](https://ci.testling.com/lydell/resolve-url)
Like Node.js [`path.resolve`]/[`url.resolve`] for the browser.
```js
var resolveUrl = require("resolve-url")
window.location
// https://example.com/articles/resolving-urls/edit
resolveUrl("remove")
// https://example.com/articles/resolving-urls/remove
resolveUrl("/static/scripts/app.js")
// https://example.com/static/scripts/app.js
// Imagine /static/scripts/app.js contains `//# sourceMappingURL=../source-maps/app.js.map`
resolveUrl("/static/scripts/app.js", "../source-maps/app.js.map")
// https://example.com/static/source-maps/app.js.map
resolveUrl("/static/scripts/app.js", "../source-maps/app.js.map", "../coffee/app.coffee")
// https://example.com/static/coffee/app.coffee
resolveUrl("//cdn.example.com/jquery.js")
// https://cdn.example.com/jquery.js
resolveUrl("http://foo.org/")
// http://foo.org/
```
Installation
============
- `npm install resolve-url`
- `bower install resolve-url`
- `component install lydell/resolve-url`
Works with CommonJS, AMD and browser globals, through UMD.
Usage
=====
### `resolveUrl(...urls)` ###
Pass one or more urls. Resolves the last one to an absolute url, using the
previous ones and `window.location`.
Its like starting out on `window.location`, and then clicking links with the
urls as `href` attributes in order, from left to right.
Unlike Node.js [`path.resolve`], this function always goes through all of the
arguments, from left to right. `path.resolve` goes from right to left and only
in the worst case goes through them all. Should that matter.
Actually, the function is _really_ like clicking a lot of links in series: An
actual `<a>` gets its `href` attribute set for each url! This means that the
url resolution of the browser is used, which makes this module really
light-weight.
Also note that this functions deals with urls, not paths, so in that respect it
has more in common with Node.js [`url.resolve`]. But the arguments are more
like [`path.resolve`].

Tests
=====
Run `npm test`, which lints the code and then gives you a link to open in a
browser of choice (using `testling`).
