trim-uri v0.1.0

trim-uri

Trims a URI to the specified maximum length for display purposes. If you don't like your logs being filled with super long URLs, fear no more. This module handles trimming of long hostnames, paths, query strings and fragments. It also handles relative paths and arbitrary URIs such as data: URIs.

Install

npm install trim-uri --save

Example

js var trimUri = require('trim-uri');

trimUri('http://super.long.annoying.hostname.com/foo/bar/baz/a/b/c/d/e.html', 50)

Usage

trimmedUri = trimUri(uri, [maxLength = 100, [separator = '…']])

Trims the URL to the specified maximum length. The separator can be overriden (for example to '...' or '⋯').

The order of priority for trimming is as follows:

• Username and password, if specified
• Hostname components beyond the first subdomain, if specified
• Hash fragment and query string
• URL path

Data URIs are handled specially (the content part is removed). Other URIs simply have their rightmost part trimmed off.
