URI Parser for Catberry Framework

Build Status codecov.io

Installation

npm install catberry-uri

Description

This is well-tested URI parser implementation that has been developed strictly according to RFC 3986.

It supports percent-encoding for all URI components except scheme and port. Percent encoding/decoding happens automatically.

It validates scheme and port component values during URI recombination.

It implements relative reference resolution algorithm from RFC 3986 5.2.

Usage

Parse URI

const catberryURI = require('catberry-uri');
const URI = catberryURI.URI;
const uri = new URI('http://user:pass@example.org:3000/some/path?some=value&some2=value&some2=value2&some3#fragment');
console.log(uri);

And you will get such object

 scheme: 'http',
  authority:
   { userInfo: { user: 'user', password: 'pass' },
     port: '3000',
     host: 'example.org' },
  path: '/some/path',
  query: { values: { some: 'value', some2: [ 'value', 'value2' ], some3: null } },
  fragment: 'fragment' }

This object is instance of URI constructor, authority field is instance of Authority, authority.userInfo is instance of UserInfo and query is instance of Query.

Get URI string

You can safely edit every component of parsed URI and then get URI string back. When you convert URI object to string scheme and port values are validated and could throw exception if values are not satisfy /^[a-z]+[a-z\d\+\.-]*$/i and /^\d+$/ respectively.

To get string representation of all these URI components just use toString()

uri.authority.userInfo.toString(); // user:pass
uri.authority.toString(); // user:pass@example.org:3000
uri.query.toString(); // some=value&some2=value
console.log(uri.toString());
// http://user:pass@example.org:3000/some/path?some=value&some2=value&some2=value2&some3#fragment

Building new URI

Also, every URI component including URI itself has clone method to create a cloned URI component for building another URI.

You can create new empty URI like this:

const uri = new URI();
uri.scheme = 'http';
// there is a static method in the URI class
uri.authority = URI.createAuthority();
// and also, an instance method
uri.authority.userInfo = uri.createUserInfo();
uri.authority.userInfo.user = 'user';
uri.authority.userInfo.password = 'pass';
uri.authority.host = 'example.org';
uri.authority.port = '3000';
uri.path = '/some/path';
uri.query = uri.createQuery();
uri.query.values = {
    some: 'value',
    some2: [ 'value', 'value2' ],
    some3: null
}
uri.fragment = 'fragment';
 
console.log(uri.toString());
// http://user:pass@example.org:3000/some/path?some=value&some2=value&some2=value2&some3#fragment

All URI components are optional and null by default. null and undefined values of every component are ignored otherwise any value will be converted to string.

Resolve relative URI

Also, you can resolve any relative URI using base URI.

const uri = new URI('../../../../g');
const baseUri = new URI('http://a/b/c/d;p?q');
 
const absoluteUri = uri.resolveRelative(baseUri);
console.log(absoluteUri.toString()); // http://a/g
