Uri Templates
.NET implementation of the URI Template Spec RFC6570.
Library implements Level 4 compliance and is tested against test cases from UriTemplate test suite.
Here are some basic usage examples:
Replacing a path segment parameter,
[Fact]
public void UpdatePathParameter()
{
var url = new UriTemplate("http://example.org/{tenant}/customers")
.AddParameter("tenant", "acmé")
.Resolve();
Assert.Equal("http://example.org/acm%C3%A9/customers", url);
}Setting query string parameters,
[Fact]
public void ShouldResolveUriTemplateWithNonStringParameter()
{
var url = new UriTemplate("http://example.org/location{?lat,lng}")
.AddParameters(new { lat = 31.464, lng = 74.386 })
.Resolve();
Assert.Equal("http://example.org/location?lat=31.464&lng=74.386", url);
}Resolving a URI when parameters are not set will simply remove the parameters,
[Fact]
public void SomeParametersFromAnObject()
{
var url = new UriTemplate("http://example.org{/environment}{/version}/customers{?active,country}")
.AddParameters(new
{
version = "v2",
active = "true"
})
.Resolve();
Assert.Equal("http://example.org/v2/customers?active=true", url);
}You can even pass lists as parameters
[Fact]
public void ApplyParametersObjectWithAListofInts()
{
var url = new UriTemplate("http://example.org/customers{?ids,order}")
.AddParameters(new
{
order = "up",
ids = new[] {21, 75, 21}
})
.Resolve();
Assert.Equal("http://example.org/customers?ids=21,75,21&order=up", url);
}And dictionaries,
[Fact]
public void ApplyDictionaryToQueryParameters()
{
var url = new UriTemplate("http://example.org/foo{?coords*}")
.AddParameter("coords", new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{"x", "1"},
{"y", "2"},
})
.Resolve();
Assert.Equal("http://example.org/foo?x=1&y=2", url);
}We also handle all the complex URI encoding rules automatically.
[Fact]
public void TestExtremeEncoding()
{
var url = new UriTemplate("http://example.org/sparql{?query}")
.AddParameter("query", "PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> SELECT ?book ?who WHERE { ?book dc:creator ?who }")
.Resolve();
Assert.Equal("http://example.org/sparql?query=PREFIX%20dc%3A%20%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Fdc%2Felements%2F1.1%2F%3E%20SELECT%20%3Fbook%20%3Fwho%20WHERE%20%7B%20%3Fbook%20dc%3Acreator%20%3Fwho%20%7D", url);
}There is a blogpost that discusses these examples and more in detail.
As well as having a set of regular usage tests, this library also executes tests based on a standard test suite. This test suite is pulled in as a Git Submodule, therefore when cloning this repo, you will need use the --recursive switch,
git clone --recursive git@github.com:tavis-software/Tavis.UriTemplates.git
Current this library does not pass all of the failure tests. I.e. If you pass an invalid URI Template, you may not get an exception.
