URLString

Signature

export type URLString = Brand<string, "URL">;

A string that is a valid, parsable URL capable of being passed to the URL constructor. This is a branded string type, meaning it behaves as a nominal type that is distinct from other string values. The only way to narrow a string to a URLString type is by validating it first with the isURLString type guard function.
