const prependHttp = require('prepend-http');
const url = 'example.com';
const fullUrl = prependHttp(url);
console.log(fullUrl); // 'http://example.com'Prepend HTTPS to URL
This feature allows you to prepend 'https://' to a URL if it does not already have a protocol. This is useful for ensuring that URLs are secure.
const prependHttp = require('prepend-http');
const url = 'example.com';
const fullUrl = prependHttp(url, {https: true});
console.log(fullUrl); // 'https://example.com'The normalize-url package is a more comprehensive solution for URL normalization. It not only ensures that a URL has a protocol, but also handles other aspects of URL normalization such as removing duplicate slashes, sorting query parameters, and more.
