Hello!This is a tool I created on the side that is able to parse connection strings for various data sources including SQL, NoSQL, files, cloud storage (s3, etc), and more.I created it because I wanted to add automatic parsing for WhoDB (day job) so that users do not have to type in each detail individually when they add a new data source.The parser currently supports SQL, NoSQL, file-based, and cloud storage connection strings (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, S3, SQLite, and more).Each datasource is defined via YAML:- required fields- optional fields- credential handling- query params- validation rulesUsage is simple:const result = parse( postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/app?sslmode=require );and the result:{ scheme : postgres , type : database , authority : { host : localhost , port : 5432 }, resource : { type : database , name : app }, path : , query : { sslmode : require }, fragment : null, credentials : { username : user , password : pass }, options : {}, raw : postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/app?sslmode=require , safe : postgres://user:**@localhost:5432/app?sslmode=require }which can they be used directly in the application.
