Utilities for working with URIs.
This module provides functions for working with URIs (for example, parsing URIs or encoding query strings). For reference, most of the functions in this module refer to RFC 3986.
Checks if the character is a “reserved” character in a URI
Checks if the character is allowed unescaped in a URI
Checks if the character is a “unreserved” character in a URI
Percent-unescapes a URI
Decodes a query string into a map
Decodes a string as “x-www-form-urlencoded”
Returns the default port for a given scheme
Registers the default port port
for the given scheme
Percent-escapes the given string
Encodes an enumerable into a query string
Encodes a string as “x-www-form-urlencoded”
Merges two URIs
Parses a well-formed URI reference into its components
Returns a stream of two-element tuples representing key-value pairs in the given query
Returns the string representation of the given URI
struct
t() :: %URI{authority: nil | binary, fragment: nil | binary, host: nil | binary, path: nil | binary, port: nil | :inet.port_number, query: nil | binary, scheme: nil | binary, userinfo: nil | binary}
char_reserved?(char) :: boolean
Checks if the character is a “reserved” character in a URI.
Reserved characters are specified in RFC 3986, section 2.2.
iex> URI.char_reserved?(?+)
true
char_unescaped?(char) :: boolean
Checks if the character is allowed unescaped in a URI.
This is the default used by URI.encode/2
where both reserved and unreserved characters are kept unescaped.
iex> URI.char_unescaped?(?{)
false
char_unreserved?(char) :: boolean
Checks if the character is a “unreserved” character in a URI.
Unreserved characters are specified in RFC 3986, section 2.3.
iex> URI.char_unreserved?(?_)
true
decode(binary) :: binary
Percent-unescapes a URI.
iex> URI.decode("http%3A%2F%2Felixir-lang.org")
"http://elixir-lang.org"
decode_query(binary, map) :: map
Decodes a query string into a map.
Given a query string of the form of key1=value1&key2=value2...
, this function inserts each key-value pair in the query string as one entry in the given map
. Keys and values in the resulting map will be binaries. Keys and values will be percent-unescaped.
Use query_decoder/1
if you want to iterate over each value manually.
iex> URI.decode_query("foo=1&bar=2")
%{"bar" => "2", "foo" => "1"}
iex> URI.decode_query("percent=oh+yes%21", %{"starting" => "map"})
%{"percent" => "oh yes!", "starting" => "map"}
decode_www_form(binary) :: binary
Decodes a string as “x-www-form-urlencoded”.
iex> URI.decode_www_form("%3Call+in%2F")
"<all in/"
default_port(binary) :: nil | pos_integer
Returns the default port for a given scheme.
If the scheme is unknown to the URI
module, this function returns nil
. The default port for any scheme can be configured globally via default_port/2
.
iex> URI.default_port("ftp")
21
iex> URI.default_port("ponzi")
nil
default_port(binary, pos_integer) :: :ok
Registers the default port port
for the given scheme
.
After this function is called, port
will be returned by default_port/1
for the given scheme scheme
. Note that this function changes the default port for the given scheme
globally, meaning for every application.
It is recommended for this function to be invoked in your application’s start callback in case you want to register new URIs.
encode(binary, (byte -> boolean)) :: binary
Percent-escapes the given string.
This function accepts a predicate
function as an optional argument; if passed, this function will be called with each character (byte) in str
as its argument and should return true
if that character should not be escaped and left as is.
iex> URI.encode("ftp://s-ite.tld/?value=put it+й")
"ftp://s-ite.tld/?value=put%20it+%D0%B9"
iex> URI.encode("a string", &(&1 != ?i))
"a str%69ng"
encode_query(term) :: binary
Encodes an enumerable into a query string.
Takes an enumerable that enumerates as a list of two-element tuples (e.g., a map or a keyword list) and returns a string in the form of key1=value1&key2=value2...
where keys and values are URL encoded as per encode_www_form/1
.
Keys and values can be any term that implements the String.Chars
protocol, except lists which are explicitly forbidden.
iex> hd = %{"foo" => 1, "bar" => 2}
iex> URI.encode_query(hd)
"bar=2&foo=1"
iex> query = %{"key" => "value with spaces"}
iex> URI.encode_query(query)
"key=value+with+spaces"
iex> URI.encode_query %{key: [:a, :list]}
** (ArgumentError) encode_query/1 values cannot be lists, got: [:a, :list]
encode_www_form(binary) :: binary
Encodes a string as “x-www-form-urlencoded”.
iex> URI.encode_www_form("put: it+й")
"put%3A+it%2B%D0%B9"
merge(t | binary, t | binary) :: t
Merges two URIs.
This function merges two URIs as per RFC 3986, section 5.2.
iex> URI.merge(URI.parse("http://google.com"), "/query") |> to_string
"http://google.com/query"
iex> URI.merge("http://example.com", "http://google.com") |> to_string
"http://google.com"
parse(t | binary) :: t
Parses a well-formed URI reference into its components.
Note this function expects a well-formed URI and does not perform any validation. See the “Examples” section below for examples of how URI.parse/1
can be used to parse a wide range of URIs.
This function uses the parsing regular expression as defined in RFC 3986, Appendix B.
When a URI is given without a port, the value returned by URI.default_port/1
for the URI’s scheme is used for the :port
field.
If a %URI{}
struct is given to this function, this function returns it unmodified.
iex> URI.parse("http://elixir-lang.org/")
%URI{scheme: "http", path: "/", query: nil, fragment: nil,
authority: "elixir-lang.org", userinfo: nil,
host: "elixir-lang.org", port: 80}
iex> URI.parse("//elixir-lang.org/")
%URI{authority: "elixir-lang.org", fragment: nil, host: "elixir-lang.org",
path: "/", port: nil, query: nil, scheme: nil, userinfo: nil}
iex> URI.parse("/foo/bar")
%URI{authority: nil, fragment: nil, host: nil, path: "/foo/bar",
port: nil, query: nil, scheme: nil, userinfo: nil}
iex> URI.parse("foo/bar")
%URI{authority: nil, fragment: nil, host: nil, path: "foo/bar",
port: nil, query: nil, scheme: nil, userinfo: nil}
query_decoder(binary) :: Enumerable.t
Returns a stream of two-element tuples representing key-value pairs in the given query
.
Key and value in each tuple will be binaries and will be percent-unescaped.
iex> URI.query_decoder("foo=1&bar=2") |> Enum.to_list()
[{"foo", "1"}, {"bar", "2"}]
to_string(t) :: binary
Returns the string representation of the given URI
struct.
iex> URI.to_string(URI.parse("http://google.com"))
"http://google.com"
iex> URI.to_string(%URI{scheme: "foo", host: "bar.baz"})
"foo://bar.baz"
