Node URL Path

Simple utility class to help join URLs and add query parameters to URLs similar to how Python's pathlib Path object works with file paths.

Installation

Install the latest version using npm with:

npm install node-url-path

Usage

Using the URLPath class makes working with URLs simple. You can add paths to a URL that already has query parameters added to it and add additional query parameters if needed with the call of a method.

All URLPath methods return a URLPath instance so you can chain them together.

Get the final URL from a URLPath instance by retrieving the public href property.

import { URLPath } from 'node-url-path';

const urlPath = new URLPath('https://google.com/api/')
  .joinPath('/query')
  .addQueryParams({
    query: 'How to make URLs easier when working with Node',
    apiKey: '1234567890',
  });

console.log(urlPath.href);

// Outputs:
// https://google.com/api/query?query=How%20to%20make%20URLs%20easier%20when%20working%20with%20Node&apiKey=1234567890

or a more complex example:

import { URLPath } from 'node-url-path';

const urlPath = new URLPath('https://google.com/api/?someExistingParams=1')
  .joinPath('/query')
  .addQueryParams({
    query: 'How to make URLs easier when working with Node',
    apiKey: '1234567890',
  });

console.log(urlPath.href);

// Outputs:
// https://google.com/api/query?someExistingParams=1&query=How%20to%20make%20URLs%20easier%20when%20working%20with%20Node&apiKey=1234567890
