Urlapi

This module contains methods for working with url:

• serialize from object to string (serialize({ }));
• parse string to object (parse(' ')).

Good abilities for working with queries and authentication in object types.

Installation

In your cmd/terminal

npm install urlapi

then add module to your project

var urlapi = require('urlapi');

or for ES2015 use

import * as urlapi from 'urlapi';

urlapi.serialize({ })

Takes object with next attributes and return string

• protocol: protocol with or without colon-slash-slash, colon (example: http, http://, mailto:) - string;
• auth: authentication data (example: user:password, { login: 'user', password: 'password'}) - string or object;
• host: hostname and port if exist (example: site_name.com:3333, site_name.com, localhost) - string;
• hostname: hostname (example: site_name.com) - string;
• port: port (example: 3333) - string or number;
• path: full path with search and queries (with or without leading slash) (example: path/inner/page?ref=1&close=false) - string;
• pathname: path without search and queries (with or without leading slash) (example: path/inner/page) - string;
• search: part of path with leading question mark (with or without question mark) (example: ?ref=1&close=false) - string;
• query: part of path with parameters (example: ref=1&close=false, {ref: '1', close: 'false'}) - string or object;
• hash: part of url with pound-sign (with or without pound-sign) (example: #g=where&a=find, {g: 'where', a: 'find'}) - string or object;

Additionaly:

• None attribute is required but add to object protocol and host is good idea.
• If host exist hostname and port will not touch.
• If path exist pathname, search, query will not touch.

Example

import * as urlapi from 'urlapi';

let preparedObject = {
    protocol: 'http',
    auth: {
        login : 'user',
        password: 'password'
    },
    host: 'site_name.com:3333',
    hostname: 'site_name.com',
    port: 3333,
    path: 'path/inner/page?ref=1&close=false',
    pathname: 'path/inner/page',
    search: '?ref=1&close=false',
    query: {
        ref: '1',
        close: 'false'
    },
    hash: {
        g: 'where',
        a: 'find'
    }
};

console.log(urlapi.serialize(preparedObject)); 

return --> 

http://user:password@site_name.com:3333/path/inner/page?ref=1&close=false#g=where&a=find

urlapi.parse(' ')

Takes string and return object

Additionaly:

• None attribute is required but add to object protocol and host is good idea.

Example

import * as urlapi from 'urlapi';

let stringParse = 'http://user:password@site_name.com:3333/path/inner/page?ref=1&close=false#g=where&a=find';

console.log(urlapi.parse(stringParse));

return -->

{
    protocol: 'http',
    auth: {
        login : 'user',
        password: 'password'
    },
    host: 'site_name.com:3333',
    hostname: 'site_name.com',
    port: 3333,
    path: 'path/inner/page?ref=1&close=false',
    pathname: 'path/inner/page',
    search: '?ref=1&close=false',
    query: {
        ref: '1',
        close: 'false'
    },
    hash: {
        g: 'where',
        a: 'find'
    }
}
