Update encodeURIComponent() parameter information

[jyotijangid]

Summary

Parameter changed to uriComponent which can be a string, number, boolean, null, undefined or any other object.

Motivation

Before encoding uriComponent is typecasted to string, using toString method.

Supporting details

const obj1 = false
const obj2 = null

console.log(`${encodeURIComponent(obj1)}`) //false
console.log(typeof `${encodeURIComponent(obj1)}`) //string
console.log(`${encodeURIComponent(obj2)}`) //null
console.log(typeof `${encodeURIComponent(obj2)}`) //string

const book = {
    name:"The Alchemist",
    author:"Paulo Coelho",
    toString: function(){
        return this.name + " by " + this.author
    }
}

console.log(`${encodeURIComponent(book)}`) //The%20Alchemist%20by%20Paulo%20Coelho //first toString method is called, then encoding
