url-params.js
// Challenge: Pull out the "character" value from the following URL string
// http://localhost:3000/characters/new?character=Art+Vandelay
// Using the `URL()` API, we can pull out the search params without needing to regex, split, or other wonkery
const params = (new URL(url)).searchParams
params.get('character') // Art Vandelay
// `URL()` will also handle uri decoding -- urls with %20, +, etc.
