Crate url_prefix

Expand description

This crate can be used to create URL prefix strings by inputting a protocol, a domain, a port number and a path.

Why You Need This?

Sometimes your web application is run on different protocols(HTTP/HTTPS) and domains. And it is boring to write some code like below to format a URL:

let mut url_prefix = String::new();
if is_https {
    url_prefix.push_str("https://");
} else {
    url_prefix.push_str("http://");
}
url_prefix.push_str(domain);

if is_https && port != 443 || !is_https && port != 80{
    url_prefix.push_str(":");
    url_prefix.push_str(&port.to_string());
}

Instead, you can easily use this crate to create URL prefix strings. For examples,

extern crate url_prefix;

let prefix = url_prefix::create_prefix(url_prefix::Protocol::HTTPS, "magiclen.org", None, None);

assert_eq!("https://magiclen.org", prefix);

extern crate url_prefix;

let prefix = url_prefix::create_prefix(url_prefix::Protocol::HTTPS, "magiclen.org", Some(8100), Some("url-prefix"));

assert_eq!("https://magiclen.org:8100/url-prefix", prefix);

Validators Support

Validators is a crate which can help you validate user input, in order to create a safe URL prefix.

To use with Validators support, you have to enable the validator feature for this crate.

[dependencies.url-prefix]
version = "*"
features = ["validator"]

And the create_prefix_with_validated_domain, create_prefix_with_validated_ipv4, create_prefix_with_validated_ipv6, create_prefix_with_validated_host functions are available.

For example,

extern crate url_prefix;

let user_input = url_prefix::validators::domain::DomainLocalhostableWithPort::from_str("magiclen.org:443").unwrap();

let prefix = url_prefix::create_prefix_with_validated_domain(url_prefix::Protocol::HTTPS, user_input.as_domain(), Some("url-prefix"));

assert_eq!("https://magiclen.org/url-prefix", prefix);
