open folder using path with space in name from my javascript framework... syntax issue

I am trying to open a network folder by using the following in my extjs javascript project.

window.open("http://127.0.0.1:8887/a/b/");

the above works fine but when there is a space in the path it no longer works

window.open("http://127.0.0.1:8887/a/b c/");

the above does not work. anyone see what I am doing wrong?

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", doStuff);

function doStuff(){
    let button = document.getElementById("navButton");
    console.log(button);
    button.onclick = () => {

        var url="http://localhost:3000/a/ c/index.html";
        url = encodeURI(url);
        console.log(url);
        window.open(url, "_new");
    };
}
<button id="navButton">Click Me</button>

I think you need to encode the URL first.

let url = "http://127.0.0.1/a/d/ c/";
let encoded = encodeURI(url);

console.log(encoded);

//window.open(encoded);
