35  Installation
36  ============
37  
38  - `npm install resolve-url`
39  - `bower install resolve-url`
40  - `component install lydell/resolve-url`
41  
42  Works with CommonJS, AMD and browser globals, through UMD.
43

45  Usage
46  =====
47  
48  ### `resolveUrl(...urls)` ###
49  
50  Pass one or more urls. Resolves the last one to an absolute url, using the
51  previous ones and `window.location`.
52  
53  It’s like starting out on `window.location`, and then clicking links with the
54  urls as `href` attributes in order, from left to right.
55  
56  Unlike Node.js’ [`path.resolve`], this function always goes through all of the
57  arguments, from left to right. `path.resolve` goes from right to left and only
58  in the worst case goes through them all. Should that matter.
59  
60  Actually, the function is _really_ like clicking a lot of links in series: An
61  actual `<a>` gets its `href` attribute set for each url! This means that the
62  url resolution of the browser is used, which makes this module really
63  light-weight.
64  
65  Also note that this functions deals with urls, not paths, so in that respect it
66  has more in common with Node.js’ [`url.resolve`]. But the arguments are more
67  like [`path.resolve`].

71  
72  
73  Tests
74  =====
75  
76  Run `npm test`, which lints the code and then gives you a link to open in a
77  browser of choice (using `testling`).
