UrlValueParser
A helper ES6 class letting you extract values from URL paths,
leaving the other parts untouched.
It uses an internal class ValueDetector
determining
what is a value and what is not. By default the following
path chunks are considered values:
- decimal numbers
- strings in UUID format
- hex numbers consisting of 7 or more characters
and consistent lower or upper case
- long base64 encoded strings
- JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
You can customize all of the logic by providing options,
overriding methods or providing your own value detector.
See the source - it's easy, i promise.
Usage
const UrlValueParser = require('url-value-parser');
const parser = new UrlValueParser();
parser.parsePathValues('/some/path/154/userId/ABC363AFE2');
parser.replacePathValues('/some/path/154/userId/ABC363AFE2', '#id');
Options
- replaceMasks - use custom masks instead of built-in
- extraMasks - add your custom masks additionally to the built-in ones
- minHexLength - when using built-in masks, count only long enough HEX values, DEFAULT: 7
- minBase64Length - when using built-in masks, count only long enough base64 values, DEFAULT: 66
If strings are provided in an array to replaceMasks and extraMasks,
then they're automatically converted into RegExp
Example:
const parser = new UrlValueParser({
minHexLength: 4,
extraMasks: [
/^z_.*$/,
'^[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+$'
]
});
