/**
* @description Validator for checking if a string is a valid URL
* @summary The URLValidator checks if a string matches a standard URL pattern.
* It extends the PatternValidator and uses a robust URL regex pattern to validate web addresses.
* The pattern is sourced from {@link https://gist.github.com/dperini/729294} and is widely
* recognized for its accuracy in validating URLs. This validator is typically used with the @url decorator.
*
* @param {string} [message] - Custom error message to display when validation fails, defaults to {@link DEFAULT_ERROR_MESSAGES#URL}
*
* @class URLValidator
* @extends PatternValidator
*
* @example
* ```typescript
* // Create a URL validator with default error message
* const urlValidator = new URLValidator();
*
* // Create a URL validator with custom error message
* const customUrlValidator = new URLValidator("Please enter a valid web address");
*
* // Validate a URL
* const result = urlValidator.hasErrors("https://example.com"); // undefined (valid)
* const invalidResult = urlValidator.hasErrors("not-a-url"); // Returns error message (invalid)
* ```
