| > Minify URLs by converting them from absolute to relative. |
| |
| If you were to use this library on a website like `http://example.com/dir1/dir1-1/`, you would get results such as: |
| |
| | Before | After | |
| | :------------------------------------------ | :----------------------------------- | |
| | `http://example.com/dir1/dir1-2/index.html` | `../dir1-2/` | |
| | `http://example.com/dir2/dir2-1/` | `/dir2/dir2-1/` | |
| | `http://example.com/dir1/dir1-1/` | ` ` | |
| | `https://example.com/dir1/dir1-1/` | `https://example.com/dir1/dir1-1/` | |
| | `http://google.com:80/dir/` | `//google.com/dir/` | |
| | `../../../../../../../../#anchor` | `/#anchor` | |
| |
| **All string parsing.** *No* directory browsing. It is thoroughly tested, very fast and lightweight with zero external dependencies. |
| |
| ## Getting Started |
| |
| This utility requires [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) `>= 0.10`. To install, type this at the command line: |
| ``` |
| npm install relateurl --save-dev |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Options |
| |
| #### options.defaultPorts |
| Type: `Object` |
| Default value: `{ftp:21, http:80, https:443}` |
| |
| Extend the list with any ports you need. Any URLs containing these default ports will have them removed. Example: `http://example.com:80/` will become `http://example.com/`. |
| |
| #### options.directoryIndexes |
| Type: `Array` |
| Default value: `["index.html"]` |
| |
| Extend the list with any resources you need. Works with [`options.removeDirectoryIndexes`](#options.removeDirectoryIndexes). |
| |
| #### options.ignore_www |
| Type: `Boolean` |
| Default value: `false` |
| |
| This will, for example, consider any domains containing `http://www.example.com/` to be related to any that contain `http://example.com/`. |
| |
| #### options.output |
| Type: constant or `String` |
| Choices: `RelateUrl.ABSOLUTE`,`RelateUrl.PATH_RELATIVE`,`RelateUrl.ROOT_RELATIVE`,`RelateUrl.SHORTEST` |
| Choices: `"absolute"`,`"pathRelative"`,`"rootRelative"`,`"shortest"` |
| Default value: `RelateUrl.SHORTEST` |
| |
| `RelateUrl.ABSOLUTE` will produce an absolute URL. Overrides [`options.schemeRelative`](#options.schemeRelative) with a value of `false`. |
| `RelateUrl.PATH_RELATIVE` will produce something like `../child-of-parent/etc/`. |
| `RelateUrl.ROOT_RELATIVE` will produce something like `/child-of-root/etc/`. |
| `RelateUrl.SHORTEST` will choose whichever is shortest between root- and path-relative. |
| |
| #### options.rejectedSchemes |
| Type: `Array` |
| Default value: `["data","javascript","mailto"]` |
| |
| Extend the list with any additional schemes. Example: `javascript:something` will not be modified. |
| |
| #### options.removeAuth |
| Type: `Boolean` |
| Default value: `false` |
| |
| Remove user authentication information from the output URL. |
| |
| #### options.removeDirectoryIndexes |
| Type: `Boolean` |
| Default value: `true` |
| |
| Remove any resources that match any found in [`options.directoryIndexes`](#options.directoryIndexes). |
| |
| #### options.removeEmptyQueries |
| Type: `Boolean` |
| Default value: `false` |
| |
| Remove empty query variables. Example: `http://domain.com/?var1&var2=&var3=asdf` will become `http://domain.com/?var3=adsf`. This does not apply to unrelated URLs (with other protocols, auths, hosts and/or ports). |
| |
| #### options.removeRootTrailingSlash |
| Type: `Boolean` |
| Default value: `true` |
| |
| Remove trailing slashes from root paths. Example: `http://domain.com/?var` will become `http://domain.com?var` while `http://domain.com/dir/?var` will not be modified. |
| |
| #### options.schemeRelative |
| Type: `Boolean` |
| Default value: `true` |
| |
| Output URLs relative to the scheme. Example: `http://example.com/` will become `//example.com/`. |
| |
| #### options.site |
| Type: `String` |
| Default value: `undefined` |
| |
| An options-based version of the [`from`](#examples) argument. If both are specified, `from` takes priority. |
| |
| #### options.slashesDenoteHost |
| Type: `Boolean` |
| Default value: `true` |
| |
| Passed to Node's [`url.parse`](http://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_url_parse_urlstr_parsequerystring_slashesdenotehost). |
| |
| ### Examples |
| This library can be used as a [function for single-use](#single-instance) or as a [class for multiple conversions](#reusable-instances). |
| |
| Upon successful conversion, a `String` will be returned. If an issue is encountered while parsing `from`, an error will be thrown. |
| |
| #### Single Instance |
| ```js |
| var RelateUrl = require("relateurl"); |
| |
| var result = RelateUrl.relate(from, to, options); |
| ``` |
| |
| #### Reusable Instances |
| ```js |
| var RelateUrl = require("relateurl"); |
| |
| var instance = new RelateUrl(from, options); |
| |
| var result1 = instance.relate(to1); |
| var result2 = instance.relate(to2, customOptions); |
| var result3 = instance.relate(to3); |
| ``` |
| |
| ## FAQ |
| 1. **Why bother writing/using this?** |
| To aid in further minifying HTML, mainly for the purpose of faster page loads and SEO. It's been integrated into [HTMLMinifier](https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier). |
| |
| 2. **Why not just use Node's `url.parse`, `url.resolve` and `path.relative`?** |
| `url.parse` *is* used, but `url.resolve` and `path.relative` are both slower and less powerful than this library. |
