# magnet-link [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ctrl/magnet-link) [](https://codecov.io/gh/scttcper/magnet-link)
> Parse a magnet URI into an object
Port of [webtorrent/magnet-uri](https://github.com/webtorrent/magnet-uri) by [feross](https://github.com/feross) that uses fewer dependencies in typescript
__Demo__: https://magnet-link.vercel.app
### Install
```console
npm install @ctrl/magnet-link
```
### Use
#### Encode
```ts
import { magnetDecode } from '@ctrl/magnet-link';
const uri = 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:d2474e86c95b19b8bcfdb92bc12c9d44667cfa36&dn=Leaves+of+Grass+by+Walt+Whitman.epub&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.example4.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.example5.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.example3.com%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.example2.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.example1.com%3A1337';
const parsed = magnetDecode(uri);
console.log(parsed.dn) // "Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.epub"
console.log(parsed.infoHash) // "d2474e86c95b19b8bcfdb92bc12c9d44667cfa36"
```
The entire parsed object
```json
{
"xt": "urn:btih:d2474e86c95b19b8bcfdb92bc12c9d44667cfa36",
"dn": "Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.epub",
"tr": [
"udp://tracker.example1.com:1337",
"udp://tracker.example2.com:80",
"udp://tracker.example3.com:6969",
"udp://tracker.example4.com:80",
"udp://tracker.example5.com:80"
],
"name": "Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.epub",
"infoHash": "d2474e86c95b19b8bcfdb92bc12c9d44667cfa36",
"announce": [
"udp://tracker.example1.com:1337",
"udp://tracker.example2.com:80",
"udp://tracker.example3.com:6969",
"udp://tracker.example4.com:80",
"udp://tracker.example5.com:80"
]
}
```
#### Decode
```ts
import { magnetEncode } from '@ctrl/magnet-link';
// convert object to magnet uri
const uri = magnetEncode({
xt: [
'urn:ed2k:354B15E68FB8F36D7CD88FF94116CDC1',
'urn:tree:tiger:7N5OAMRNGMSSEUE3ORHOKWN4WWIQ5X4EBOOTLJY',
'urn:btih:QHQXPYWMACKDWKP47RRVIV7VOURXFE5Q',
],
xl: '10826029',
dn: 'mediawiki-1.15.1.tar.gz',
tr: [
'udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce',
],
as: 'http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.15/mediawiki-1.15.1.tar.gz',
xs: [
'http://cache.example.org/XRX2PEFXOOEJFRVUCX6HMZMKS5TWG4K5',
'dchub://example.org',
],
});
You can also use convenience key names like name (dn), infoHash (xt), infoHashIntArray (xt), announce (tr), and keywords (kt).
