parse-url
An advanced url parser supporting git urls too.
For low-level path parsing, check out parse-path. This very module is designed to parse urls.
:cloud: Installation
# Using npm
npm install --save parse-url
# Using yarn
yarn add parse-url
:clipboard: Example
// Dependencies
import parseUrl from "parse-url";
console.log(parseUrl("http://ionicabizau.net/blog"))
// {
// protocols: [ 'http' ],
// protocol: 'http',
// port: '',
// resource: 'ionicabizau.net',
// user: '',
// password: '',
// pathname: '/blog',
// hash: '',
// search: '',
// href: 'http://ionicabizau.net/blog',
// query: {}
// }
console.log(parseUrl("http://domain.com/path/name?foo=bar&bar=42#some-hash"))
// {
// protocols: [ 'http' ],
// protocol: 'http',
// port: '',
// resource: 'domain.com',
// user: '',
// password: '',
// pathname: '/path/name',
// hash: 'some-hash',
// search: 'foo=bar&bar=42',
// href: 'http://domain.com/path/name?foo=bar&bar=42#some-hash',
// query: { foo: 'bar', bar: '42' }
// }
// If you want to parse fancy Git urls, turn off the automatic url normalization
console.log(parseUrl("git+ssh://git@host.xz/path/name.git", false))
// {
// protocols: [ 'git', 'ssh' ],
// protocol: 'git',
// port: '',
// resource: 'host.xz',
// user: 'git',
// password: '',
// pathname: '/path/name.git',
// hash: '',
// search: '',
// href: 'git+ssh://git@host.xz/path/name.git',
// query: {}
// }
console.log(parseUrl("git@github.com:IonicaBizau/git-stats.git", false))
// {
// protocols: [ 'ssh' ],
// protocol: 'ssh',
// port: '',
// resource: 'github.com',
// user: 'git',
// password: '',
// pathname: '/IonicaBizau/git-stats.git',
// hash: '',
// search: '',
// href: 'git@github.com:IonicaBizau/git-stats.git',
// query: {}
// }

:sparkling_heart: Support my projects
I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).
However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:
-
Starring and sharing the projects you like :rocket:
-
—I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. :grin: :book:
-
—You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a coffeetea. :tea: -
—Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).
-
Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below):

Other packages similar to parse-url
url-parse
The url-parse package offers similar functionality to parse-url, allowing for the parsing of URLs into components. It also provides the ability to resolve relative URLs against an absolute base URL, which is a feature not present in parse-url.
qs
While qs is not a direct alternative to parse-url, it provides robust query string parsing and stringifying capabilities. It can be used in conjunction with other URL parsing libraries to handle the query string part of URLs more extensively than parse-url.
urijs
URI.js is a URL manipulation library that provides a fluent API for building, parsing, and manipulating URLs. It offers more features than parse-url, such as URL normalization, resolution of relative paths, and support for punycode and IPv6.
