Node.js URLObject.slashes API

The URLObject.slashes API in Node.js is used to determine if the protocol in a given URL has two slashes following it.

Syntax

urlObject.slashes;

Return Value

• A boolean value (true/false) indicating whether the protocol has slashes (//) or not.

Example

const urlModule = require('url');
const myUrl = urlModule.parse('https://www.example.com/my/path?query=value#fragment');
console.log(myUrl.slashes); // true

In the above example, the slashes property is used to output a boolean value indicating whether the protocol (https) has slashes (//) or not. In this case, true is outputted because the protocol does in fact have two slashes following it.

Conclusion

The URLObject.slashes API in Node.js is a useful property that can be used to determine the presence of a // following the protocol in a given URL. This can come in handy when parsing and manipulating URLs in Node.js applications.
