# origin(al) [](http://unshift.io)[](http://browsenpm.org/package/original)[](https://travis-ci.org/unshiftio/original)[](https://david-dm.org/unshiftio/original)[](https://coveralls.io/r/unshiftio/original?branch=master)[](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=unshift) Original generates the origin URL for a given URL or URL object. In addition to that it also comes with a simple `same` function to check if two URL's have the same origin. ## Install This module is browserify and node compatible and is therefor release in the npm registry and can be installed using: ``` npm install --save original ``` ## Usage In all the examples we assume that the module is loaded using: ```js 'use strict'; var origin = require('original'); ``` To get the origin of a given URL simply call `origin` function with any given URL to get origin. ```js var o = origin('https://google.com/foo/bar?path'); // o = https://google.com ``` To compare if two URL's share the same origin you can call the `same` method. ```js if (origin.same('https://google.com/foo', 'https://primus.io')) { console.log('same'); } else { console.log('guess what, google.com and primus.io are not the same origin'); } ``` And that's it. ## License MIT
