tld.js
is JavaScript API to work against complex domain names, subdomains and URIs.
It answers with accuracy to questions like what is the domain/subdomain of mail.google.com
and a.b.ide.kyoto.jp
?
tld.js
is fully tested, works in Node.js and in the browser, with or without AMD.
Its database keeps up to date thanks to Mozilla's public suffix list to have and keep up to date with domain names.
Thanks Mozilla!

You can build your own by using browserify:
npm install --save tldjs
browserify -s tld -r node_modules/tldjs/index.js -o tld.js
An UMD module will be created as of tld.js
.
Checks if the TLD is valid for a given host.
tld.tldExists('google.com'); // returns `true`
tld.tldExists('google.google'); // returns `false` (not an explicit registered TLD)
tld.tldExists('com'); // returns `true`
tld.tldExists('uk'); // returns `true`
tld.tldExists('co.uk'); // returns `true` (because `uk` is a valid TLD)
tld.tldExists('amazon.fancy.uk'); // returns `true` (still because `uk` is a valid TLD)
tld.tldExists('amazon.co.uk'); // returns `true` (still because `uk` is a valid TLD)
tld.tldExists('https://user:[email protected]:8080/some/path?and&query#hash'); // returns `true`
Returns the fully qualified domain from a host string.
tld.getDomain('google.com'); // returns `google.com`
tld.getDomain('fr.google.com'); // returns `google.com`
tld.getDomain('fr.google.google'); // returns `google.google`
tld.getDomain('foo.google.co.uk'); // returns `google.co.uk`
tld.getDomain('t.co'); // returns `t.co`
tld.getDomain('fr.t.co'); // returns `t.co`
tld.getDomain('https://user:[email protected]:8080/some/path?and&query#hash'); // returns `example.co.uk`
Returns the complete subdomain for a given host.
tld.getSubdomain('google.com'); // returns ``
tld.getSubdomain('fr.google.com'); // returns `fr`
tld.getSubdomain('google.co.uk'); // returns ``
tld.getSubdomain('foo.google.co.uk'); // returns `foo`
tld.getSubdomain('moar.foo.google.co.uk'); // returns `moar.foo`
tld.getSubdomain('t.co'); // returns ``
tld.getSubdomain('fr.t.co'); // returns `fr`
tld.getSubdomain('https://user:[email protected]:8080/some/path?and&query#hash'); // returns ``
Returns the public suffix for a given host.
tld.getPublicSuffix('google.com'); // returns `com`
tld.getPublicSuffix('fr.google.com'); // returns `com`
tld.getPublicSuffix('google.co.uk'); // returns `co.uk`
tld.getPublicSuffix('s3.amazonaws.com'); // returns `s3.amazonaws.com`
Checks if the host string is valid. It does not check if the tld exists.
tld.isValid('google.com'); // returns `true`
tld.isValid('.google.com'); // returns `false`
tld.isValid('my.fake.domain'); // returns `true`
tld.isValid('localhost'); // returns `false`
tld.isValid('https://user:[email protected]:8080/some/path?and&query#hash'); // returns `true`
Many libraries offer a list of TLDs. But, are they up-to-date? And how to update them?
Hopefully for you, even if I'm flying over the world, if I've lost my Internet connection or even if you do manage your own list, you can update it by yourself, painlessly.
How? By typing this in your console
npm run build
A fresh copy will be made available as ./rules.json
.
