Tag URI

This is a node implementation of RFC4151: The 'tag' URI Scheme.

Abstract (from the RFC)

Tag URIs (also known as "tags") are designed to be unique across space and time while being tractable to humans. They are distinct from most other URIs in that they have no authoritative resolution mechanism. A tag may be used purely as an entity identifier. Furthermore, using tags has some advantages over the common practice of using "http" URIs as identifiers for non-HTTP-accessible resources.

Installation

npm install tag-uri

Usage

ES6

import tag from 'tag-uri';
 
const publishDate = new Date(2016, 4, 28);
 
const tagged = tag('https://github.com', publishDate);
// tagged = 'tag:github.com,2016-05-28'
 
 
const taggedToday = tag('https://github.com/aquibm/tag-uri');
// taggedToday = 'tag:github.com,2016-09-10:aquibm:tag-uri'

ES5
