PHP's parse_url in JavaScript
Here’s what our current JavaScript equivalent to PHP's parse_url looks like.
|
How to use
You you can install via npm install locutus
and
require it via require('locutus/php/url/parse_url')
.
You could also require the url
module in full
so that you could access url.parse_url
instead.
If you intend to target the browser, you can then use a module bundler such as Parcel, webpack, Browserify, or rollup.js. This can be important because Locutus allows modern JavaScript in the source files, meaning it may not work in all browsers without a build/transpile step. Locutus does transpile all functions to ES5 before publishing to npm.
A community effort
Not unlike Wikipedia, Locutus is an ongoing community effort. Our philosophy follows The McDonald’s Theory. This means that we don't consider it to be a bad thing that many of our functions are first iterations, which may still have their fair share of issues. We hope that these flaws will inspire others to come up with better ideas.
This way of working also means that we don't offer any production guarantees, and recommend to use Locutus inspiration and learning purposes only.
Notes
original by https://stevenlevithan.com/demo/parseuri/js/assets/parseuri.js blog post at https://blog.stevenlevithan.com/archives/parseuri demo at https://stevenlevithan.com/demo/parseuri/js/assets/parseuri.js Does not replace invalid characters with ‘_’ as in PHP, nor does it return false with a seriously malformed URL. Besides function name, is essentially the same as parseUri as well as our allowing an extra slash after the scheme/protocol (to allow file:/// as in PHP)
Examples
Please note that these examples are distilled from test cases that automatically verify our functions still work correctly. This could explain some quirky ones.
