isURL - email addresses validate as URLs

[iamjochem]

hi,

most people would guess that the string john@doe.com is an email address, but technically it is also a valid URL (an "auth" segment and a "hostname" segment).

isURL validates the above string, it would be nice if a option existed, e.g. allow_auth, whereby we could specify that URLs with an auth are invalid.

In my particular case would allow me to invalidate email-addresses that people mistakenly submit in place of actual URLs ... these things do happen for all sorts of reasons (e.g. carelessness, bad UI, misunderstanding, etc)

Meanwhile:

function isURLWithoutAuth(url) {
  return typeof url === 'string' && !validator.isEmail(url) && validator.isURL(url);
}
