How it works

The m.buildPathname creates a path name from a path template and a parameters object. It's useful for building URLs, and it's what m.route, m.request, and m.jsonp all use internally to interpolate paths. It uses m.buildQueryString to generate the query parameters to append to the path name.

var querystring = m.buildPathname("/path/:id", {id: "user", a: 1, b: 2})

// querystring is "/path/user?a=1&b=2"
