Large angular 5.1 project, IE11 hangs at load. Without parse-domain, loads fine. about parse-domain HOT 3 CLOSED

Same issue in a Vue app.

The problem is that parseDomain main function returns an es6 object literal with shorthand syntax.

return {
  tld,
  domain,
  subdomain
}

This is unsupported in es5 and honestly shouldn't be shipped untranspiled.

from parse-domain.

Changing to tldjs npm package fixes the problem for us!
We can now parse the domain (domain + tld) from a hostname (subdomain + domain + tld) once again, and IE11 does not hang/freeze on load of our Angular 5.1 app.

Our common.ts:

const tldjs = require('tldjs');

export class Common {
   static parseDomain( data ) {
    var    a      = document.createElement('a');
           a.href = data;
    let domain = tldjs.getDomain( a.hostname );
    return domain;
  }
}

from parse-domain.

The spinner was probably due to parsing issues with large regexes. parse-domain > 2.1.0 uses a trie structure which is smaller and easier to parse.

The ES6 problem should be fixed with v2.1.5.
