Url

A URL helper class to easily extract certain parts of the url. It is basically a wrapper around the native parse_url function. Currently, parse_url has no solid support for parsing uri strings. This package aims to provide that support.

This small package is framework agnostic and has no dependencies.

Install via composer

$ composer require thinktomorrow/url

Usage

Create an Url instance

Create a new url instance by calling the static fromString method with your url string.

\Thinktomorrow\Url\Url::fromString('https://example.com');

In case of a malformed url string, an InvalidUrl exception will be thrown. This validation is based on what the native parse_url considers a malformed url string.

Parts of the url

Via the Url instance, you have access to all the different parts of the url string. You can retrieve the following parts:

// scheme
\Thinktomorrow\Url\Url::fromString('https://example.com')->getScheme(); // https

// host
\Thinktomorrow\Url\Url::fromString('https://example.com')->getHost(); // example.com

// port
\Thinktomorrow\Url\Url::fromString('https://example.com:9000')->getPort(); // 9000

// path
\Thinktomorrow\Url\Url::fromString('https://example.com/foo/bar')->getPath(); // foo/bar

// query
\Thinktomorrow\Url\Url::fromString('https://example.com?foo=bar')->getQuery(); // foo=bar

// hash
\Thinktomorrow\Url\Url::fromString('https://example.com#foobar')->getHash(); // foobar

Altering the url string

Securing a url

You can secure an url with the secure() method.

Url::fromString('example.com')->secure()->get(); // 'https://example.com'

You can force a non-secure scheme with the nonSecure method.

Url::fromString('example.com')->nonSecure()->get(); // 'http://example.com'
Url::fromString('https://example.com')->nonSecure()->get(); // 'http://example.com'

Changing url root

In the case you need to change the url root, you can use the setCustomRoot method. This expects a \Thinktomorrow\Url\Root object as argument.

Url::fromString('http://example.com/foobar')
    ->setCustomRoot(Root::fromString('https://newroot.be'))
    ->get(); // 'https://newroot.be/foobar'

Localizing the url

In case you use the url path segment for localization purposes, you can inject the locale segment with the localize method

Url::fromString('http://example.com/foobar')
    ->localize('en')
    ->get(); // 'http://example.com/en/foobar'

The localize method also accepts a second parameter to enlist all available locales. In the case that passed url contains any of these locales, the existing locale will be replaced by the new locale.

Url::fromString('http://example.com/en/foobar')
    ->localize('fr', ['en','fr'])
    ->get(); // 'http://example.com/fr/foobar'

If you pass null as the locale parameter, any locale segment will be removed.

Url::fromString('http://example.com/en/foobar')
    ->localize(null, ['en','fr'])
    ->get(); // 'http://example.com/foobar'
