[✨] qwik-city: useLocation should provide makePath

[wmertens]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When trying to redirect within the application, it's hard to do it properly.

Describe the solution you'd like

useLocation should return makePath function that takes path and/or params and/or query, merging those to return the correct absolute path for the application.

const {makePath, params} = useLocation()
return <div>
  <Link href={makePath({path:".."})}>Up</Link>
  <Link href={makePath({params: {id: Number(params.id)-1}})}>Previous</Link>
</div>

Describe alternatives you've considered

Adhoc path generation. People will often forget query strings and the base path

I don't think this belong in useLocation()

[wmertens]

@manucorporat is it because it would create overhead? How about a useMakePath() hook that calls useLocation?

We moved this issue to qwik-evolution repo to create a RFC discussion for this.
Here is our Qwik RFC process thanks.

I think I don't like this idea any more. Just writing the paths or creating a helper is simple enough.
