Answer 1

Check this Gist please

var env="http://localhost:3000/"
var route='users/:id/profile/'
var routes=[
  {
    'name':'profile',
    'path':'users/:id/:profile/'

  }
]


function RouteName(route,arg){
  let targetRoute = routes.find(e=>e.name==route).path
  for(var key in arg){

  targetRoute=targetRoute.replace(`:${key}`,arg[key])
  //console.log(targetRoute)

}
return targetRoute

}

console.log(env+RouteName('profile',{'id':3,'profile':'loaiabdalslam'}))
