# url-escape-tag
A template tag for escaping url parameters based on [ES2015 tagged templates](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/template_strings#Tagged_template_strings).

Internally, this package uses node.js [querystring.escape](https://nodejs.org/api/querystring.html#querystring_querystring_escape), a safer implementation of [encodeURIComponent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent).
