How can I properly URL Encode an array in Javascript?

Question

I have found that encodeURIComponent works in most cases but when I pass an array, it doesn't work as expected. Here is my code:

var orderArray = [223746903996283,223525203804543]
var orders = encodeURIComponent(orderArray);
Logger.log(orders);

orders value is 223746903996283%2C223525203804543.

The expected value is %5B223746903996283%2C223525203804543%5D.

Thank you so much in advance.

Convert it to a string first using JSON.stringify:

var orderArray = [223746903996283,223525203804543]
var orders = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(orderArray));
console.log(orders);
