relative uri

In order to keep the clients uniform, we will probably not be able to do this. But, here's a easy way to get the host: instead of parsingwindow.location properties individually and stringing them together, you can simply use window.location.origin to get the fully qualified host name in a format like this:

Yes, I understand these things are possible, its just not really idiomatic for javascript clients

For example the documentation for axios (and just about every other api example for any client library) shows client examples like so:

// Send a POST request
axios({
  method: 'post',
  url: '/user/12345',
  data: {
    firstName: 'Fred',
    lastName: 'Flintstone'
  }
});

whereas we now need to

`${window.location.origin}/${apiPrefix}`

I would like to run the frontend for the typesense server on the same host as the server. It would be nice if it would be possible to not set the host in the config or have an option to let the client use a relative path. Could you please open the ticket again, this is something that is usually possible with most API clients.

This would simplify the build process when a frontend is used on multiple domains, so the frontend can be generically build.

@mkbrechtel I started making the changes needed to support your ask, but then I noticed (and remembered) that we already support this.

If you set node.url to / or ``, that should do what you're looking for.
