📚 Description

processTemplateParams runs decodeURI on each string that contains %, so a URL-encoded value is not read as a token. decodeURI throws when two hex digits do not follow a %. Every string with a token such as %s or %siteName has one, so each call threw and caught a URIError.

The function now tests for that % first and skips the decode. The output does not change, because the catch already fell back to the original string. A string with only valid encodings, such as some%20image.jpg, still decodes.

Results from packages/unhead/test/unit/templateParams.bench.ts, in ops/s, over three runs on each side:

Case main This branch
basic (%s %separator %siteName) 278k to 281k 2.10M to 2.12M
nested props 290k to 291k 2.58M to 2.60M
not found props 285k to 288k 2.29M to 2.33M
with url (valid encodings only) 7.63M to 8.55M 7.21M to 7.33M
simple string (no %) 35.2M to 36.3M 35.0M to 36.2M

The with url case runs the new test and still decodes, so it is about 10% slower.

On a bare Nuxt nightly app, server requests per second rose 7.2 to 10.7% on six routes, and head render time fell 25 to 37%. That run used a build of the feat/compiled-server-head branch (#1062) with the compiled head off. The run was not repeated on main.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Template parameter processing now preserves literal percent signs and malformed or invalid encoded sequences instead of attempting to decode them. Valid encoded URLs continue to be decoded, and valid template tokens are still resolved, including when they appear next to encoded values.

decodeURI throws when two hex digits do not follow a `%`. Every string
with a template token has such a `%`, so each call to
processTemplateParams threw and caught a URIError before it matched
tokens. The catch already fell back to the original string, so a test
for that `%` gives the same output without the throw.

Walkthrough

processTemplateParams now skips decodeURI when its input contains a percent sign that is not followed by two hexadecimal digits. Tests cover encoded values, literal percent signs, invalid UTF-8 bytes, and template token resolution.

Changes: Template parameter decoding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guard URI decoding and verify substitutions
packages/unhead/src/utils/templateParams.ts, packages/unhead/test/unit/server/templateParams.test.ts
processTemplateParams checks for malformed percent escapes before attempting decodeURI. Tests verify that encoded values and literal percent signs are preserved while %siteName resolves to My Site.
