Readme
A very small, fast, dependency free url parser and formatter for nodejs and the web
- fast
- few lines of code
- 100% test coverage
why is it so small and fast?
It extracts all url fragments in a single step using one massive regex
usage
npm install --save urlite
var url = require('urlite')
url.parse('http://user:[email protected]:3000/path?query=string#fragment')
{
auth: 'user:pass',
hash: '#fragment',
hostname: 'blah.com',
href: 'http://user:[email protected]:3000/path?query=string#fragment',
path: '/path?query=string',
pathname: '/path',
port: '3000',
protocol: 'http:',
search: '?query=string'
}
var href = window.location.href
url.format(url.parse(href)) === href
Urlite extra
An extended version of urlite is available at urlite/extra
. This includes helpful features such as querystring, hash and auth parsing:
// version of urlite with additional extras like querystring and auth parsing
var url = require('urlite/extra')
var parsed = url.parse('http://user:[email protected]:3000/path?a=b#c=d')
parsed.search // -> { a: "b" }
parsed.search.a = 'c'
parsed.hash // -> { c: "d" }
parsed.hash.c = 'e'
parsed.auth // -> { user: 'user', password: 'password' }
url.format(parsed) // -> 'http://user:[email protected]:3000/path?a=c#c=e'
