How does url.password work?

url.password is a property in the Node.js url module that represents the password component of a URL.

When a URL is parsed using the url.parse function, the password property of the resulting object will be set to the password component of the URL, if one is present. If no password component is present, the password property will be set to null.

The password property can also be set explicitly when constructing a URL using the url.format function. To set the password component of a URL, you can include it as part of the auth component of the URL. For example:

javascriptCopy code
const { format } = require("url");

const urlObject = {
  protocol: "http:",
  host: "example.com",
  auth: "username:password",
  pathname: "/path/to/resource",
};

const urlString = format(urlObject);
console.log(urlString);

In this example, we construct a URL object with a protocol, host, auth, and pathname. The auth component includes both a username and password, separated by a colon. When we call format on the URL object, the resulting string will include the password component of the URL.

Note that the password property of a URL object is not typically used directly in most applications. Instead, you would typically construct or parse URLs using the url.parse and url.format functions, which handle the details of parsing and constructing URLs for you.

const { parse } = require("url");

const urlString = "https://user:password@example.com/path/to/resource";
const urlObject = parse(urlString);

console.log(urlObject.password); // "password"

In this example, we start with a URL string that includes both a username and password component in the auth section of the URL. We use the url.parse function to parse the URL string into a URL object. We can then access the password property of the URL object to retrieve the password component of the URL. In this case, the value of urlObject.password will be "password".
