I have an API that returns a domain to my front end.
This domain is the string format.
For eg: "google.com" / "google.co.ok"
or "test.google.com"/ "test.google.co.ok:
Notice that the string does not contain any protocol.
I want to write a method that parses the string and returns true if the string contains a subdomain.
In the above 2 examples, the method should return true for test.google.com or test.google.co.ok
EDIT: If it were python, i would write something like below. But hoping something similat was available in JS.
from tld import get_tld, get_fld
get_tld("www.google.co.uk", fix_protocol=True)
# 'co.uk'
get_fld("www.google.co.uk", fix_protocol=True)
# 'google.co.uk'
There are multiple JavaScript libraries available that can be used the same way you're using tld. psl is older but still has millions of weekly downloads.
You could use psl and implement something like this:
import { parse } from "psl";
function hasSubdomain(str) {
const { subdomain } = parse(str);
return subdomain !== null;
}
hasSubdomain("www.google.com") // true
hasSubdomain("google.co.uk") // false
Feel free to clone and edit this example on RunKit as you see fit.
Sure thing. Since there's no protocol, maybe something like:
"word.domain.com"
.split(".").length > 2 // true
"domain.com"
.split(".").length > 2 // false
"www.domain.co.uk"
.split(".").length > 2 // uh-oh
You'll likely need to parse out "www" and second-level domains (".co", ".gc", etc).
You can use RegExp to perform string manipulation. Please take a look at the following snippet and run the code and see the results from different test cases covering most of the possibilities. Let me know if it's helpful.
function subDomain(url) {
// REMOVE LEADING AND TRAILING WHITE SPACE
url = url.replace(new RegExp(/^\s+/), ""); // START
url = url.replace(new RegExp(/\s+$/), ""); // END
// CONVERT BACK SLASHES TO FORWARD SLASHES
url = url.replace(new RegExp(/\\/g), "/");
// REMOVES 'www.' FROM THE START OF THE STRING
url = url.replace(new RegExp(/^www\./i), "");
// REMOVE STRING FROM FIRST FORWARD SLASH ON
url = url.replace(new RegExp(/\/(.*)/), "");
// REMOVES '.??.??' OR '.???.??' FROM END - e.g. '.CO.UK', '.COM.AU'
if (url.match(new RegExp(/\.[a-z]{2,3}\.[a-z]{2}$/i))) {
url = url.replace(new RegExp(/\.[a-z]{2,3}\.[a-z]{2}$/i), "");
// REMOVES '.??' or '.???' or '.????' FROM END - e.g. '.US', '.COM', '.INFO'
} else if (url.match(new RegExp(/\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i))) {
url = url.replace(new RegExp(/\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i), "");
}
// CHECK TO SEE IF THERE IS A DOT '.' LEFT
var subDomain = url.match(new RegExp(/\./g)) ? true : false;
return subDomain;
}
const subdomainInput = "test.google.com";
const subdomainInputWithPath = "test.google.com/test";
const subdomainInputWithPathWithWS = " test.google.com ";
const subdomainInputWithWS = " test.google.com ";
const subdomainInputWithQueryString = "test.google.com/test?token=33333";
const noSubInput = "google.com"
const noSubInputWithPath = "google.com/search"
const noSubInputWithPathWithQueryString = "google.com/search?token=ttttttt"
