Build::URI

Build::URI provides unform handling of paths (e.g. /var/lib), URIs (e.g. http://www.google.com/search) and triples (e.g. [email protected]:ioquatix/build-uri). It supports logical concatenation of all combinations of these, and a nil token for convenience.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'build-uri'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install build-uri

Usage

Some examples of concatenation:

Build::URI['http://www.github.com/ioquatix'] + 'build-uri'
# Absolute URI is concatenated with relative path, generating 'http://www.github.com/ioquatix/build-uri'.

Build::URI['var'] + 'lib'
# Concatenates relative paths, generating 'var/lib'.

Build::URI['/usr/bin'] + '/usr/local/bin'
# RHS is absolute path, so it is returned.

Build::URI['http://www.github.com/'] + Build::URI['[email protected]:ioquatix/build-uri']
# RHS is absolute URI, so it is returned.

Build::URI[nil] + 'etc'
# LHS is nil, so RHS is returned.

A nil token Build::URI[nil] or Build::URI::EMPTY is available which always yields the right-hand side when merging.

Parsing Input

uri = Build::URI[value]

Local Path

Is it a local path or a (potentially) remote resource?

if uri.local?
    File.read(uri.to_path)
else
    # ... curl
end

Concatenation

root = Build::URI["https://www.github.com/ioquatix"]
path = Build::URI["build-uri"]

(root + path).to_s
# => "https://www.github.com/ioquatix/build-uri"

Caveats

This library does not implement URI encoding/decoding. It is expected that the inputs are valid encoded strings, and thus the outputs will be too.

This is not a general purposes URI handling library, but is focused on providing correct programmatic path concatenation for teapot.
