Relativize

Relativize is a simple way to ensure that you redirect to a string URL which is relative to your application and doesn't lead you to external domains.

It's meant to be used alongside Rails' redirect_to, sinatra's redirect or any other redirection mechanism.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'relativize'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install relativize

Relativize is a PORO that should be initialized with a URL and optionally a default_url to be returned in case of exceptions.

Relativize.new('https://example.com/path?query=yeap').call
# => /path?query=yeap

Relativize.new('/path?query=yeap').call
# => /path?query=yeap

Relativize.new('%invalid uri%', default_url: '/home').call
# => /home

Relativize.new('%invalid uri%').call
# => /

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake rspec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
