Social Media URL Parser

===================

(supports Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook - raise a GitHub issue if you want more)

Get all the data you need to process social media link data

----------

**THE PROBLEM**

You want users to input their Twitter handle or URL, but don't want to confuse them with specifying a format i.e. full url, twitter handle, user id, linkedin extension etc. 

**THE SOLUTION**

Simply dump your URL or userId in `socialMediaURL.parse` to get all the data you need. 

**From id**

``` socialMediaURL.parse("Lolem1psum", "TWITTER"); ```

Which returns

```javascript

{

hostname: "twitter.com", 

href: "https://www.twitter.com/Lolem1psum", 

pathname: "/Lolem1psum", 

service: "TWITTER", 

twitterHandle: "@Lolem1psum", 

type: "ID", 

userId: "Lolem1psum"

}`

```

Whereas: 

```javascript

socialMediaURL.parse("https://www.facebook.com/lolem1psum");

```

returns 

```javascript

{

hostname: "www.facebook.com",

href: "https://www.facebook.com/lolem1psum",

pathname: "/lolem1psum",

service: "FACEBOOK",

type: "URL",

userId: "lolem1psum"

}

```
