When a component is not present in an url (e.g. it doesn't contain user and password) the corresponding properties will return NULL.

Further available component combinations

The following combinations of components aren't really common, but may as well be useful sometimes.

          root                  relative

root

The root as it's called here, consists of the scheme and the authority components.

$url = Url::parse('https://www.example.com:8080/foo?bar=baz');
$root = $url->root();   // => "https://www.example.com:8080"

relative

Complementary to root you can retrieve path, query and fragment via the relative method.

$url = Url::parse('https://www.example.com/foo?bar=baz#anchor');
$relative = $url->relative();   // => "/foo?bar=baz#anchor"
