URL Parser

UrlParsers provides you with methods to parse named params and query params easily.

This package relies heavily in the native URL object (no need to reinvent the wheel). It just adds some extra methods to handle params (both query and named params).

import { UrlParser } from 'url-params-parser'

// UrlParser(url, placeholder)

const urlParser = UrlParser(
  "https://address.com/employees/show/1234/developer/reports/asc",
  "/employees/show/:id/:title/reports/:order"
)

urlParser.namedParams
// returns { id: "1234", title: "developer", order: "asc" }
)

Install

To install Url Parser:

with npm

1npm i url-params-parser

Usage
