Extract and cache the pathname string of an http request

http-get-pathname

Extract and cache the pathname string of an http request

Call this function on an incoming HTTP request in one or more places without worrying about performance/caching and without any prior parsing of the request/url

The leading slash is stripped by default

If you like the style, check out:

• http-body-parse
• http-query-parse

which shares some caching and thus works great together

Installation

npm install http-get-pathname

Usage

The result is cached and subsequent calls are cheap

var httpGetPathname = require('http-get-pathname');

// http://localhost/path/name?someQueryString

httpGetPathname(request); // path/name

// second call is cheap
httpGetPathname(request); // path/name

// with leading slash
httpGetPathname(request, true); // /path/name

http-get-pathname's Issues

Reconsider the default of stripping the initial slash

/users just looks more like a http route than users

Consider renaming to http-pathname
