opn-url – Node.js module for opening URLs

opn-url is a Node.js module for opening a URL via the operating system. This will usually trigger actions such as:

• http URLs: open the default browser
• mailto URLs: open the default email client
• file URLs: open a window showing the directory (on OS X)

Example interaction on the Node.js REPL:

> require("opn-url").open("http://rauschma.de")
> require("opn-url").open("mailto:[email protected]")

You can generate emails as follows:

require("opn-url").mailto(["[email protected]", "[email protected]"],
    { subject: "Hello!", body: "This is\nan automatically sent email!\n" });

Install:

`npm install opn-url`

or

`yarn add opn-url`

In the original openurl and the cloned openurl2 package, there was an issue with URL's escaping & characters. This has been fixed in this fork. As is seems the original Project, and clone are no longer maintained, we attempted to send in a pull request, with no response we pushed this Fork.
