domain-from-partial-url

Turn a URL, no matter how incomplete, into its domain name

Installation

npm install domain-from-partial-url

Usage

The module exports a single function which will take a vaguely URL-like thing and spit out a domain. For example:

var domainFromPartialUrl = require('domain-from-partial-url');

domainFromPartialUrl('example.com'); // example.com
domainFromPartialUrl('http://example.com'); // example.com
domainFromPartialUrl('example.com/someinfo.html'); // example.com
domainFromPartialUrl('https://example.com/lots/of/stuff/index.html'); // example.com

Limitations

This module does not handle all URLs, only what users are likely to often give as input (because that's what I happened to need this module for). In particular this means it does not handle:

• Ports
• Schemes other than http:// or https://
• Username/passwords

I will gladly take patches to add code to handle these.
