HyperlinkParser.js

HyperlinkParser.js is an util to parse the URLs. Can be used in Node.js and the browsers. The properties of the parsed URL is same as the properties of HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils. For more details, see the example in the following section.

Installation

npm i hyperlink-parser

Example

var HyperlinkParser = require('hyperlink-parser');
var url = 'https://user:[e-mail]:8080/search?q=javascript#results';

/**
 * @type {HyperlinkParser.Hyperlink}
 */
var hyperlink = HyperlinkParser.parse(url);

The hyperlink is an instance of HyperlinkParser.Hyperlink which holds the following informations:

{
    "href": "https://user:[e-mail]:8080/search?q=javascript#results",
    "origin": "https://example.com:8080",
    "protocol": "https:",
    "username": "user",
    "password": "pass",
    "host": "example.com:8080",
    "hostname": "example.com",
    "port": "8080",
    "pathname": "/search",
    "search": "?q=javascript",
    "hash": "#results"
}

API

Do not modify the properties of the Hyperlink instance directly, because some properties has dependencies on the others. The best way to update the properties is using the setter methods, which will handle the dependencies among them. All the APIs are listed as follow:

• HyperlinkParser.version
• HyperlinkParser.parse(url)
• Hyperlink.prototype.constructor([url])
• Hyperlink.prototype.setHref(href)
• Hyperlink.prototype.setProtocol(protocol)
• Hyperlink.prototype.setUserName(username)
• Hyperlink.prototype.setPassword(password)
• Hyperlink.prototype.setHost(host)
• Hyperlink.prototype.setHostName(hostname)
• Hyperlink.prototype.setPort(port)
• Hyperlink.prototype.setPathName(pathname)
• Hyperlink.prototype.setSearch(search)
• Hyperlink.prototype.setHash(hash)
• Hyperlink.prototype.toString()

As you can see, there is no setter method to modify the origin property. If you want to modify the origin property, call setProtocol(protocol) and setHost(host).
