validURL

validating URLs is tricky job. There are tons of approaches. This is my liberal approach.

Features

supports any protocols (https|http|ftp|arbitrary)://
supports ipv6 hostnames
supports punycode urls
tested against 1.3M URLs

Testing

testing might take a while, since we are testing against 1.3Million URLs. Test files are only available at github clone. They will be ignored for npm package.

npm run test

Install

npm i --save @7c/validurl

Usage

const validURL = require('@7c/validurl')

console.log(validURL('http://localhost'))

All kind of bugreports are welcome
