url-pattern
easier than regex string matching for urls, domains, filepaths and other strings.
url-pattern can capture named parts of strings and conveniently returns them as objects.
Also does the reverse and generates strings given a pattern and such an object.
install: npm install url-pattern

pattern.match('http://mail.google.com/mail'); // {subdomain: 'mail', domain: 'google', tld: 'com', _: 'mail'}
