doc: graduate WHATWG URL from Experimental #12710

jasnell · 2017-04-28T00:16:21Z

Thanks to amazing effort from @TimothyGu, @joyeecheung, @watilde and @targos the WHATWG URL Parser should be ready to graduate from Experimental status as a new fully support API.

-The `url` module provides an *experimental* implementation of the
-[WHATWG URL Standard][] as an alternative to the existing `url.parse()` API.
+The `url` module provides an implementation of the [WHATWG URL Standard][] as
+an alternative to the existing `url.parse()` API.


Nit: Maybe remove existing.

TimothyGu

LGTM, though I'd wait for #12683 to be applied first and then incorporate my version of this PR, which updates the changes YAML property for affected APIs as well.

jasnell · 2017-04-28T12:48:51Z

@TimothyGu ... +1 .. If you'd like, feel free to merge TimothyGu@213b9ce into this PR. I plan to get #12683 landed today.

sam-github · 2017-04-28T17:32:21Z

LGTM

Not sure if its relevant to this specific PR, but for a non-experimental feature, the docs are still incomplete:

They (EDIT: "should") lead with a discussion of why Node.js has two url APIs, how they interact (url.format supports both), and how they differ. Some advice on which to use would be useful.
The docs should have YAML markup describing when the APIs were added, particularly since they don't (yet) exist in 6.x, and may never in 4.x.
Personally, I think there should be a parallel section to The WHATWG URL API, maybe The legacy URL API (traditional? backwards compatible? other?), so its clear there are two, and which one a reader is looking at.

jasnell · 2017-04-28T21:03:50Z

Added a new commit that restructures the url.md documentation page a bit more. PTAL (especially those who had already signed off)

Fishrock123 · 2017-04-28T23:12:25Z

Should this be ctc-review?

jasnell · 2017-04-28T23:35:08Z

Probably :)

TimothyGu · 2017-04-29T19:19:07Z

I've taken the liberty to incorporate the changes I had in my local branch, which updates the YAML annotations for added and stable version information (/cc @sam-github). I've also shuffled the content around a bit, not too significantly though.

For those who cannot render the updated documentation page, the page layout now looks something like this:

Updated table of contents

URL
- The WHATWG URL API
  - Class: URL
    - Constructor: new URL(input[, base])
    - url.hash
    - url.host
    - url.hostname
    - etc.
  - Class: URLSearchParams
    - Constructor: new URLSearchParams()
    - Constructor: new URLSearchParams(string)
    - Constructor: new URLSearchParams(obj)
    - Constructor: new URLSearchParams(iterable)
    - urlSearchParams.append(name, value)
    - urlSearchParams.delete(name)
    - etc.
  - url.domainToASCII(domain)
  - url.domainToUnicode(domain)
  - url.format(URL[, options])
- Legacy URL API
  - Legacy urlObject
    - urlObject.auth
    - urlObject.hash
    - urlObject.host
    - etc.
  - url.format(urlObject)
  - url.parse(urlString[, parseQueryString[, slashesDenoteHost]])
  - url.resolve(from, to)
- Percent-Encoding in URLs
  - Legacy API
  - WHATWG API

joyeecheung

LGTM with a question.

Aside: I think somewhere in the documentation we should mention that new URL(input) without a base doesn't work on relative urls (e.g. req.url), but that can be done in another PR

joyeecheung · 2017-04-30T14:44:21Z

doc/api/url.md

+For example, the ASCII space character (`' '`) is encoded as `%20`. The ASCII
+forward slash (`/`) character is encoded as `%3C`.
+
+<a id="whatwg-percent-encoding"></a>


Why is this anchor moved?

It is moved since James refactored the original chapter "Percent-Encoding in WHATWG" to a chapter "Percent-Encoding" with two sections "Legacy" and "WHATWG". The anchor goes with the description of WHATWG URL.

Note: this or #12723 fixes #11362, whichever lands first.

Probably :)

targos · 2017-05-29T13:54:35Z

+1 for landing on 8.0.0

jasnell · 2017-05-29T14:34:34Z

Given that there have been no objections raised, and we have sign off that includes two CTC members, I'm landing this.
