Instance Method Details

#+(other) ⇒ Object

Combine this relative URL with another URL or path.

Examples:

Combine two relative paths.

base = Relative.new("/documents/reports/")
other = Relative.new("invoices/2024.pdf")
result = base + other
result.path.to_s  # => "/documents/reports/invoices/2024.pdf"

Navigate to parent directory.

base = Relative.new("/documents/reports/archive/")
other = Relative.new("../../summary.pdf")
result = base + other
result.path.to_s  # => "/documents/summary.pdf"

# File 'lib/protocol/url/relative.rb', line 231

def as_json(...)
	to_s

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#local_path(root) ⇒ Object Also known as: to_local_path

Resolve the URL path beneath a local filesystem root.

# File 'lib/protocol/url/relative.rb', line 59

def local_path(root)
	@path.local_path(root)
end

#normalize! ⇒ Object

Normalize the encoded path and simplify its structure.

This modifies the URL in-place by normalizing and simplifying the path component:

  • Decodes percent-encoded unreserved characters
  • Uses uppercase hexadecimal digits for retained percent escapes
  • Removes "." segments (current directory)
  • Resolves ".." segments (parent directory)
  • Collapses empty path segments represented by consecutive slashes

Normalization is intentionally lossy. Callers that need to preserve the original path structure should retain the parsed URL and avoid this method.

Examples:

Basic normalization

url = Relative.new("/foo//bar/./baz/../qux")
url.normalize!
url.path.to_s  # => "/foo/bar/qux"

#with(path: nil, query: @query, fragment: @fragment, pop: true) ⇒ Object

Create a new Relative URL with modified components.

Examples:

Update the query string.

url = Relative.new("/search", "query=ruby")
updated = url.with(query: "query=python")
updated.to_s  # => "/search?query=python"

Append to the path.

url = Relative.new("/documents/")
updated = url.with(path: "report.pdf", pop: false)
updated.to_s  # => "/documents/report.pdf"
