API

urlRegex(options)

Returns a regex for matching URLs.

options

exact

Type: boolean Default: false

Only match an exact string. Useful with RegExp#test to check if a string is a URL.

strict

Type: boolean Default: true

Force URLs to start with a valid protocol or www. If set to false it'll match the TLD against a list of valid TLDs.

local

Allow also to test URLs with private network hosts. If set to true it'll match local URLs like http://forge/library/home/ (without TLD).
