ESM import

import extractDomain from 'extract-domain';

Examples

const urls = [
    'https://www.npmjs.com/package/extract-domain',
    'http://www.example.com:80/path/to/myfile.html?key1=value1&key2=value2#SomewhereInTheDocument',
    'http://user:password@example.com:80/path/to/myfile.html?key1=value1&key2=value2#SomewhereInTheDocument',
    'https://npmjs.com/package/extract-domain',
    'ftp://example.org/resource.txt',
    'http://example.co.uk/',
    'this.is.my@email.com',
];

extractDomain(urls[0]); // npmjs.com

extractDomain(urls); // [ 'npmjs.com', 'example.com', 'example.com', 'npmjs.com', 'example.org', 'co.uk', 'email.com' ]

TLD support

TLD support requires the optional dependency of the psl library.

Examples

npm i --save-optional psl

const url =
    'http://www.example.co.uk:80/path/to/myfile.html?key1=value1&key2=value2#SomewhereInTheDocument';

async function extract(url) {
    console.log(await extractDomain(url, { tld: true }));
    // example.co.uk
}

// Or
extractDomain(url, { tld: true }).then(console.log);
// example.co.uk

Please note that using the tld flag may significantly slow down the process. Benchmark (old) results:

# extract domain 10,000 times
  end ~14 ms (0 s + 13572914 ns)
# extract domain with tld 10,000 times
  end ~4.29 s (4 s + 288108681 ns)
