-## Description
-
-URL utility class. Methods in this class generate URLs used in Commerce Cloud Digital. Site related information in the generated URLs is determined from the current HTTP request. Methods belong to two groups: generating absolute and relative URLs. Absolute URL methods are further subdivided into those creating URLs with specified protocol and those using protocol information from the request. Corresponding to the protocol, the host name from the HTTP/HTTPS host preference is used. If preference is not set, the host name from the current request is included in resulting absolute URL. URLs do not include a session ID anymore. The appendSID argument therefore does not have any effect. When creating a pipeline URL with one of the methods url(), http(), https() or abs() by default the generated URL is a Commerce Cloud Digital URL ("/on/demandware.store/..."). If search friendly URLs are enabled (old or new) the methods generate search friendly URLs. Search friendly URLs are only generated for certain pipeline names. Here a list of these pipeline names: Product-Show with a 'pid' parameter [productID] - search friendly URL for a product Product-ShowInCategory with the 'cgid' parameter [categoryID] and 'pid' parameter [productID] - search friendly URL for a product shown in a specific category Search-Show with a 'cgid' parameter [categoryID] - search friendly URL for a category Search-Show with a 'pid' parameter [productID] - search friendly URL for a product Search-ShowContent with a 'fdid' parameter [folderID] - search friendly URL for a folder (ONLY works with new storefront URLs) Page-Show with a 'cid' parameter [contentID] - search friendly URL for a content page Parameter transform: Some methods allow the specification of image transformation parameters. Image transformation is only performed if the Dynamic Imaging Service (DIS) is available for the Commerce Cloud Digital instance. Otherwise a standard static content URL is returned. The to-be-transformed image needs to be hosted on Digital. Image transformation parameters are specified as JavaScript object literal. They are translated into URL parameters. See Create Image Transformation URLs. Type of transformation Parameters Description Scale an image scaleWidth scaleHeight scaleMode The scaleWidth and scaleHeight parameters are both integers; setting one of these parameters triggers a scaling operation. If both are provided, the one that scales the image less is used to calculate the scale factor. The image is then automatically cropped accord to the second dimension, with a centered position of the cropped area. If the parameter would scale the image larger, only this operation is applied, if the image remains within acceptable pixel dimensions. Note: scaleMode can only be used in combination with scaleHeight and scaleWidth. The scaleMode parameter can be set to cut or fit. The default scaleMode is cut, the behavior of which is explained above. If you specify fit as the scaleMode, the system scales the image into the given box of dimensions while keeping the aspect ratio (possibly resulting in a smaller image in one dimension). Overlay an image imageX imageY imageURI The imageX and imageY parameters are both integers. Valid values for these parameters are 0 or greater. Supported formats are png, jpg, jp2, and gif. The imageURI parameter can be set to the absolute path of the overlaid image. The value of the imageURI parameter must be given in proper URL encoding, and it cannot exceed 400 characters in length. The path may include query string parameters, which supports dynamically generating the overlaid image itself through this service; that is, the overlaid image can itself be a transformed image. If the overlaid image extends over the primary image's boundaries, the overlaid image is cropped so that it fits directly over the primary image. Crop an image cropX cropY cropWidth cropHeight The cropX, cropY, cropWidth, cropHeight parameters are integers. All four parameters must be specified to trigger a cropping operation. Valid values for the cropX and cropY parameters are 0 or greater. If the crop location defined by cropX and cropY is outside the image area, nothing is cropped. Valid values for the cropWidth and cropHeight parameters are 10 or greater. If the cropWidth and cropHeight parameters specify a size that is greater than the original image, the crop area is reduced to the actual image area. If cropWidth and cropHeight are 0 or less, no transformation is applied. Format an image format The format parameter specifies the target format of the image. Supported formats are png, jpg, jp2, and gif. If no target format is specified, no format conversion is performed. The source image file is references with attribute relPath. Source image's format is recognized by the file extension which must be tif, tiff, jpg, jpeg, png, or gif. In the generated URL the file extension of the target format is used in the URL path. This is to make sure the image is loaded from an URL with a matching file extension. The source format is provided as URL parameter. Adjust image compression quality quality The quality parameter specifies a quality setting for jpg and jp2 images, and specifies the compression level for png images. For jpg and jp2 images, you can set values from 1–100 for the highest quality. The default quality is 80. If you're not changing the default quality, you don't need to pass in a value. For png images, the quality setting has no effect on the appearance of the png, since the compression is always lossless. Instead you can use the quality setting to set the zlib compression level and filter-type for PNG images. The tens digit sets the zlib compression level(1-9). The ones digit sets the filter type. If the png setting is not present or set to 0, it uses a default value of 75. If this setting is set to 100, it actually equals the quality setting 90. Adjust Metadata stripping strip The strip parameter specifies if metadata like EXIF and color profiles is stripped from the image during transformation. Valid values for the strip parameter are between true and false. The default is true Change background color bgcolor(color) or bgcolor(color+alpha) The bgcolor parameter specifies the background color for images that support transparency as well as JPEG images when being converted from a format that supports transparency. Optionally, alpha setting for PNG images are also supported. bgcolor expects a 6 digit hexadecimal value of RGB with an optional two hexadecimal characters representing alpha value that determines transparency. FF0000 = Red FF000077 = Red with 50% transparency Alpha values are optional. When the alpha value is omitted, the resulting color is opaque. Alpha values are only valid when the image output format is PNG. Example: The following code var url = URLUtils.imageURL('/somepath/image.png', {scaleWidth: 100, format: 'jpg'}); will produce an image transformation URL like http://<image server host name>/.../on/demandware.static/.../somepath/image.jpg?sw=100&sfrm=png.

-
-**Signature:** `static absStatic(context : String, contextID : String, relPath : String) : URL`
-
-**Description:** Returns the absolute URL to the static location of the specified context. The context can be either a specific catalog (URLUtils.CONTEXT_CATALOG), a content library (URLUtils.CONTEXT_LIBRARY) or a site (URLUtils.CONTEXT_SITE). Respectively either a URL to images in a catalog, a library or a site are created. The contextID parameter is optional and only used for context CONTEXT_CATALOG, where is specifies the ID of a specific catalog. If defined, the static URL for the specified catalog is returned. If not defined, the static URL for the current site catalog is returned (or null if no site catalog is defined). For context CONTEXT_SITE and context CONTEXT_LIBRARY, the contextID parameter is ignored and the static URL for the current site / site library is returned. Parameter relPath can be defined to specify the relative path within the context-specific path. The method returns an absolute URL with the same protocol as the current request.
-
-**Parameters:**

-**Description:** The method returns a static URL for a resource in the current site. Site resources are actually located in the cartridges associated with the site. This resources are typically logos, button images, CSS files and JavaScript files. The method will transform the given relative path to include cache related information, which enables better cache control. The created URL is an absolute URL with same protocol as the current incoming request. Note: This method replaces the original mechanisms of using the webroot() method to construct a URL. The new method is better integrated into the overall cache management.
