Answer 1

The docs you took this info out are for the node of version 8.4.0.

If it does not work for you, that means that your node is of version 6.11.2. Then, just change the letter case of URL -

const { Url } = require('url');
const myUrl = new Url('http://example.com'); 

because url module exports Url, not URL.
