TypeScript definitions for url-parse
@types/url-parse provides TypeScript type definitions for the url-parse library, which is used to parse, manipulate, and build URLs in JavaScript.
Parsing URLs
This feature allows you to parse a URL into its components such as protocol, hostname, port, pathname, query, and hash.
const URLParse = require('url-parse');
const url = new URLParse('https://example.com:8080/pathname/?search=test#hash');
console.log(url.protocol); // 'https:'
console.log(url.hostname); // 'example.com'
console.log(url.port); // '8080'
console.log(url.pathname); // '/pathname/'
console.log(url.query); // '?search=test'
console.log(url.hash); // '#hash'
Modifying URLs
This feature allows you to modify different parts of a URL and then convert it back to a string.
const URLParse = require('url-parse');
let url = new URLParse('https://example.com/pathname/?search=test#hash');
url.set('protocol', 'http');
url.set('hostname', 'example.org');
url.set('port', '3000');
console.log(url.toString()); // 'http://example.org:3000/pathname/?search=test#hash'
Query String Parsing
This feature allows you to parse the query string into an object for easier manipulation.
const URLParse = require('url-parse');
const url = new URLParse('https://example.com/pathname/?search=test&foo=bar', true);
console.log(url.query); // { search: 'test', foo: 'bar' }
Building URLs
This feature allows you to build a URL by setting its different components and then converting it back to a string.
const URLParse = require('url-parse');
const url = new URLParse('https://example.com');
url.set('pathname', '/newpath');
url.set('query', { search: 'newtest', foo: 'newbar' });
console.log(url.toString()); // 'https://example.com/newpath?search=newtest&foo=newbar'
The 'url' package is a core Node.js module that provides utilities for URL resolution and parsing. It is similar to url-parse but is built into Node.js and may not have as many features for URL manipulation.
The 'query-string' package focuses on parsing and stringifying URL query strings. It provides a more specialized set of functionalities compared to url-parse, which handles the entire URL.
The 'whatwg-url' package is a full implementation of the WHATWG URL Standard. It provides a more standards-compliant way to parse and manipulate URLs compared to url-parse.
