Uri and query string manipulation in javascript.
This project incorporates the excellent parseUri regular expression library by Steven Levithan. You can safely parse URLs of all shapes and sizes, however invalid or hideous.
Pass anything that your browser would recognize as a url to the new Uri() constructor
var uri = new Uri('http://user:[email protected]:81/index.html?q=books#fragment');
and then use the following accessor methods to get at the various parts.
uri.protocol(); // http
uri.userInfo(); // user:pass
uri.host(); // www.test.com
uri.port(); // 81
uri.path(); // /index.html
uri.query(); // q=books
uri.anchor(); // fragment
The accessor methods accept an optional value for setting the property
uri.protocol('https');
uri.toString(); // https://user:[email protected]:81/index.html?q=books#fragment
uri.host('mydomain.com');
uri.toString(); // https://user:[email protected]:81/index.html?q=books#fragment
The fluent interface provides a simple way to chain property assignment
new Uri()
.setPath('/index.html')
.setAnchor('content')
.setHost('www.test.com')
.setPort(8080)
.setUserInfo('username:password')
.setProtocol('https')
.setQuery('this=that&some=thing') // https://username:[email protected]:8080/index.html?this=that&some=thing#content
new Uri('http://www.test.com')
.setHost('www.yahoo.com')
.setProtocol('https') // https://www.yahoo.com
new Uri()
.setPath('/archives/1979/')
.setQuery('?page=1') // /archives/1979?page=1
Special methods are available for fetching, building and modifying query string parameters. An emhpasis is placed on query string integrity; duplicate parameter names and values are preserved. Parameter ordering is preserved when possible. URI Components are decoded for comparision, but are otherwise left in their original state.
Returns the first query param value for the key
new Uri('?cat=1&cat=2&cat=3').getQueryParamValue('cat') // 1
Returns all query param values the key
new Uri('?cat=1&cat=2&cat=3').getQueryParamValues('cat') // [1, 2, 3]
new Uri().addQueryParam('q', 'books') // ?q=books
new Uri('http://www.github.com')
.addQueryParam('testing', '123')
.addQueryParam('one', 1) // http://www.github.com/?testing=123&one=1
// insert param at index 0
new Uri('?b=2&c=3&d=4').addQueryParam('a', '1', 0) // ?a=1&b=2&c=3&d=4
Replaces every query string parameter named key
with a single instance with the value newVal
. If oldValue
is supplied, only parameters valued oldVal
will be replaced.
new Uri('?a=1&b=2&c=3')
.replaceQueryParam('a', 'eh') // ?a=eh&b=2&c=3
new Uri('?a=1&b=2&c=3&c=4&c=5&c=6')
.replaceQueryParam('c', 'five', '5') // ?a=1&b=2&c=3&c=4&c=five&c=6
new Uri().replaceQueryParam('page', 2) // ?page=2
Removes instances of query parameters named key
. If value
is passed, only params named key
and valued value
will be deleted.
new Uri('?a=1&b=2&c=3')
.deleteQueryParam('a') // ?b=2&c=3
new Uri('test.com?a=1&b=2&c=3&a=eh')
.deleteQueryParam('a', 'eh') // test.com/?a=1&b=2&c=3
Duplication (via .clone()
) is an easy way to inflate an identical uri object, which you can muck around with as much as you like without destroying the original.
var baseUri = new Uri('http://localhost/');
baseUri.clone().setProtocol('https'); // https://localhost/
baseUri; // http://localhost/
There is a comprensive set of unit tests written in jasmine.
To run them, simply open testrunner.html
from the root of the project in a browser.
