urlparse-template

urlparse-template
=================

url.parse() with templating
support (via. Bram Stein's
url-template).

Built for being able to give 'templated' URLs in configuration files, which you
then can fill out + get parsed on demand:

var utp = require('urlparse-template');

var template = utp('http://{username}:{password}@{username}.service.tld/');

// Later

var urlparts = template({
username: 'foo',
password: 'bar'
});

// Gives:
// {
// protocol: 'http:',
// href: 'http://foo:bar@foo.service.tld/',
// auth: 'foo:bar',
// username: 'foo', // Parsed out from auth
// password: 'bar', // Parsed out from auth
// host: 'foo.service.tld',
// hostname: 'foo.service.tld',
// ...
// }

It also works without the explicit template function:

var data = utp(templateString, fillData);

Details

We actually use a fork of url.parse() that doesn't call
decodeURIComponent() in the parsed data. This allows us to parse the
auth-section in a sane manner, even if users have : in their username.

(Yes it does suck to have legacy-systems with lax validation...)
