Database configuration URL parser for node.js
npm install parse-database-url
This is an npm package that parses database
configurations passed in as URLs. This is typically useful in Heroku
deployments, where the database configuration is given in the DATABASE_URL
environment variable.
This library is tested against the following platforms.
* node.js 0.6
* node.js 0.8
* node.js 0.10
Keep in mind that the versions above are not hard requirements.
The preferred installation method is to add the library to the dependencies
section in your package.json.
``json`
{
"dependencies": {
"parse-database-url": "*"
}
}
Alternatively, npm can be used to install the library directly.
`bash`
npm install parse-database-url
Once the library is installed, require-ing it returns the function that
parses URLs.
`javascript`
var parseDbUrl = require("parse-database-url");
And you can use that to parse URLs :)
`javascript`
var dbConfig = parseDbUrl(process.env["DATABASE_URL"]);
The library comes with unit tests. Please make sure they pass before submitting
a pull request.
`bash``
npm install
npm test
If you modify the parser, please add test cases showing your changes to
test/parse_cases.json.
