opn-url is a Node.js module for opening a URL via the operating system. This will usually trigger actions such as:
- http URLs: open the default browser
- mailto URLs: open the default email client
- file URLs: open a window showing the directory (on OS X)
Example interaction on the Node.js REPL:
> require("opn-url").open("http://rauschma.de")
> require("opn-url").open("mailto:john@example.com")
You can generate emails as follows:
require("opn-url").mailto(["john@example.com", "jane@example.com"],
{ subject: "Hello!", body: "This is\nan automatically sent email!\n" });
Install:
`npm install opn-url`
or
`yarn add opn-url`

In the original openurl and the cloned openurl2 package, there was an issue with URL's escaping & characters. This has been fixed in this fork. As is seems the original Project, and clone are no longer maintained, we attempted to send in a pull request, with no response we pushed this Fork.
