node-url
This module has utilities for URL resolution and parsing meant to have feature parity with node.js core url module.
var url = require('url');
api
Parsed URL objects have some or all of the following fields, depending on whether or not they exist in the URL string. Any parts that are not in the URL string will not be in the parsed object. Examples are shown for the URL
'http://user:pass@host.com:8080/p/a/t/h?query=string#hash'
href
: The full URL that was originally parsed. Both the protocol and host are lowercased.Example:
'http://user:pass@host.com:8080/p/a/t/h?query=string#hash'
protocol
: The request protocol, lowercased.Example:
'http:'
host
: The full lowercased host portion of the URL, including port information.Example:
'host.com:8080'
auth
: The authentication information portion of a URL.Example:
'user:pass'
hostname
: Just the lowercased hostname portion of the host.Example:
'host.com'
port
: The port number portion of the host.Example:
'8080'
pathname
: The path section of the URL, that comes after the host and before the query, including the initial slash if present.Example:
'/p/a/t/h'
search
: The ‘query string’ portion of the URL, including the leading question mark.Example:
'?query=string'
path
: Concatenation ofpathname
andsearch
.Example:
'/p/a/t/h?query=string'
query
: Either the ‘params’ portion of the query string, or a querystring-parsed object.Example:
'query=string'
or{'query':'string'}
hash
: The ‘fragment’ portion of the URL including the pound-sign.Example:
'#hash'
The following methods are provided by the URL module:
url.parse(urlStr, [parseQueryString], [slashesDenoteHost])
Take a URL string, and return an object.
Pass true
as the second argument to also parse the query
string using the querystring
module. Defaults to
false
.
Pass true
as the third argument to treat
//foo/bar
as { host: 'foo', pathname: '/bar' }
rather than { pathname: '//foo/bar' }
. Defaults to
false
.
url.format(urlObj)
Take a parsed URL object, and return a formatted URL string.
href
will be ignored.protocol
is treated the same with or without the trailing:
(colon).- The protocols
http
,https
,ftp
,gopher
,file
will be postfixed with://
(colon-slash-slash). - All other protocols
mailto
,xmpp
,aim
,sftp
,foo
, etc will be postfixed with:
(colon)
- The protocols
auth
will be used if present.hostname
will only be used ifhost
is absent.port
will only be used ifhost
is absent.host
will be used in place ofhostname
andport
pathname
is treated the same with or without the leading/
(slash)search
will be used in place ofquery
query
(object; seequerystring
) will only be used ifsearch
is absent.search
is treated the same with or without the leading?
(question mark)hash
is treated the same with or without the leading#
(pound sign, anchor)
url.resolve(from, to)
Take a base URL, and a href URL, and resolve them as a browser would for an anchor tag. Examples:
url.resolve('/one/two/three', 'four') // '/one/two/four'
url.resolve('http://example.com/', '/one') // 'http://example.com/one'
url.resolve('http://example.com/one', '/two') // 'http://example.com/two'
