The urlObject.slashes property is used when one wants to check whether there is a need for ASCII valued forward-slash character (/) after the colon (:) in the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) of a URL or not. It returns the Boolean value.

urlObject.slashes

Return Value: The urlObject.slashes property returns true if two ASCII value forward slashes are required, otherwise, it returns false.

const url = parse('www.geeksforgeeks.org');
