Hi Everyone, I have repeatedly run into scenarios when building/testing API clients where I want to join a path onto a base url. The base_url could be configurable (and maybe read from an environment variable) and the user may or may not append a trailing slash to it. Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:
Base URI: http://example.com/business_1 Path to append: /foo Desired result: http://example.com/business_1/foo Base URI: http://example.com/business_1/ # Includes trailing slash Path to append: /foo Desired result: http://example.com/business_1/foo Base URI: http://example.com Path to append: /foo Desired result: http://example.com/foo Base URI: http://example.com/ # Includes trailing slash Path to append: /foo Desired result: http://example.com/foo I don't see a helper to quickly do this and URI.merge/2 replaces the path completely. What do you think about `URI.join_path/2`? You should be able to do something like this. iex> URI.join_path("http://example.com/foo/";, "/bar") |> to_string() "http://example.com/foo/bar"; I guess it would probably leave any query string variables untouched iex> URI.join_path("http://example.com/foo/?var1=true";, "/bar") |> to_string() "http://example.com/foo/bar?var=1"; And maybe it would allow you to join multiple fragments like Path.join/1: iex> URI.join_path("http://example.com/foo/";, ["bar", "baz"]) |> to_string() "http://example.com/foo/bar/baz"; What do you think? Is there a better way to do this that I haven't figured out? Aaron Rener -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
