Loop over array and create a Query

Question

I have a list of values in a array, I need to create a query based on that

var x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

url = http://localhost:3000/site/query=("ID:"+ 1 + "ID:" + 2 + "ID:" + 3)

the number of ID increases based on values in an array.

I tried creating a for loop and than add i for example:

for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
  if (i === 0) {
    url = http://localhost:3000/site/query=("ID:"+ x[i])
  }
  if (i === 1) {
    url = http://localhost:3000/site/query=("ID:"+ x[0] + "ID:" + x[i])
  }
}

I cannot create multiple if blocks because the "i"value can be dynamic and there could be many values in array

So the desired pattern is ID:ID:ID:ID: without a separator character? — Taplar

I need to build a query, for example if I have two values in array [1,2], the url will be localhost:3000/site/query=("ID:"+ 1 + "ID:" + 2) — Charan

I mean, if that's really what you want, you can just join the array.

var x = [1];
var url = 'http://localhost:3000/site/query=ID:'+x.join('%20OR%20ID:')
console.log(url);

var x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
var url = 'http://localhost:3000/site/query=ID:'+x.join('%20OR%20ID:')
console.log(url);

%20 is space encoded for urls.
