urlops 1.0.1

Clean URL handling made easy

urlops

Clean URL handling made easy.

Overview

urlops provides a simple, clean API for working with URLs. It offers immutable URL objects with intuitive operations that make URL manipulation feel natural.

Features

• Intuitive API - Natural operations like / for path joining
• Immutable design - All operations return new instances
• Multi-value query parameters - Proper handling of complex query strings
• Custom exceptions - Only uses urlops-specific exceptions, never built-in Python exceptions
• Simple and focused - Core functionality without unnecessary complexity

Quick Start

from urlops import URL, parse, join

# Create a URL
url = URL("https://example.com/api/users?page=1&sort=name")

# Access components
print(url.scheme)    # "https"
print(url.host)      # "example.com"
print(url.port)      # None
print(url.path)      # URLPath("/api/users")
print(url.query)     # QueryParams("page=1&sort=name")
print(url.fragment)  # ""

# Path operations (intuitive syntax)
new_url = url / "123" / "profile"
print(new_url)       # "https://example.com/api/users/123/profile"

# Query parameter manipulation
query = url.query
print(query.get("page"))        # "1"
print(query.get_all("tag"))     # [] (empty for non-existent keys)

# Immutable modification
new_url = url.with_host("api.example.com").with_port(8080)
print(new_url)       # "https://api.example.com:8080/api/users?page=1&sort=name"

Detailed Examples

URL Creation and Parsing

from urlops import URL, parse

# Different ways to create URLs
url1 = URL("https://example.com/path")
url2 = parse("https://example.com/path")  # Factory function
url3 = URL("//example.com/path")          # Protocol-relative
url4 = URL("/relative/path")               # Relative URL

# Check URL properties
print(url1.is_absolute())  # True
print(url4.is_absolute())  # False
print(url1.is_valid())     # True

Path Operations

from urlops import URL

url = URL("https://example.com/api/v1")

# Path joining with /
new_url = url / "users" / "123"
print(new_url)  # "https://example.com/api/v1/users/123"

# Path properties
path = new_url.path
print(path.name)        # "123"
print(path.stem)        # "123" (no extension)
print(path.suffix)      # "" (no extension)
print(path.parent)      # URLPath("/api/v1/users")

# Path modification
new_path = path.with_name("profile.json")
print(new_path)         # URLPath("/api/v1/users/profile.json")

# File-like operations
file_path = URL("https://example.com/docs/guide.pdf").path
print(file_path.stem)   # "guide"
print(file_path.suffix) # ".pdf"

Query Parameter Handling

from urlops import URL

# Create URL with query parameters
url = URL("https://api.example.com/search?q=python&category=web&tag=api&tag=rest")

# Access query parameters
query = url.query
print(query.get("q"))           # "python"
print(query.get("category"))    # "web"
print(query.get_all("tag"))     # ["api", "rest"]
print(query.keys())             # ["q", "category", "tag"]
print(len(query))               # 4 (total key-value pairs)

# Modify query parameters (immutable)
new_query = query.add("page", "2").set("q", "javascript")
print(new_query)                # "q=javascript&category=web&tag=api&tag=rest&page=2"

# Remove parameters
clean_query = new_query.remove("tag")
print(clean_query)              # "q=javascript&category=web&page=2"

# Builder pattern
final_query = query.with_(page="3", limit="10")
print(final_query)              # "q=python&category=web&tag=api&tag=rest&page=3&limit=10"

URL Modification

from urlops import URL

base_url = URL("https://example.com/api")

# Modify different components
api_url = base_url.with_scheme("https").with_host("api.example.com").with_port(8080)
print(api_url)  # "https://api.example.com:8080/api"

# Path operations
users_url = api_url / "users" / "123"
print(users_url)  # "https://api.example.com:8080/api/users/123"

# Query and fragment
final_url = users_url.with_query("format=json").with_fragment("profile")
print(final_url)  # "https://api.example.com:8080/api/users/123?format=json#profile"

Factory Functions

from urlops import parse, join

# Parse function
url = parse("https://example.com/api/v1")

# Join function for building URLs
base = parse("https://api.example.com")
api_url = join(base, "v1", "users", "123")
print(api_url)  # "https://api.example.com/v1/users/123"

Error Handling

from urlops import URL, ParseError, ValidationError, TypeError

try:
    # Invalid URL
    url = URL("invalid://url")
except ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Invalid URL: {e}")

try:
    # Invalid port
    url = URL("https://example.com:99999")
except ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Invalid port: {e}")

try:
    # Double slash in path
    url = URL("https://example.com//invalid")
except ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Invalid path: {e}")

try:
    # Wrong type
    url = URL(123)
except TypeError as e:
    print(f"Type error: {e}")

Real-World Examples

from urlops import URL

# API endpoint construction
base_api = URL("https://api.github.com")
user_endpoint = base_api / "users" / "octocat"
repos_endpoint = user_endpoint / "repos"

# Add query parameters
search_url = repos_endpoint.with_query("type=public&sort=updated")
print(search_url)  # "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/repos?type=public&sort=updated"

# CDN URL construction
cdn_base = URL("https://cdn.example.com")
asset_url = cdn_base / "images" / "logo.png"
print(asset_url)  # "https://cdn.example.com/images/logo.png"

# Web scraping URL handling
scrape_url = URL("https://example.com/articles/2024/01/15")
article_id = scrape_url.path.name  # "15"
year = scrape_url.path.parent.name  # "2024"
