Relative-only paths

ForNeVeR opened this issue · 0 comments

Currently, we have the following two types for paths:

  • AbsolutePath for, well, absolute paths,
  • LocalPath for any paths.

We lack a separate type to specify a relative-only type, so let's get one. @PaGrom makes a good argument on its existence, see #1 (comment).

I propose the following design:

struct RelativePath
{
  public RelativePath(string path, bool trimLeadingSlash = false) {}
}

Examples:

new RelativePath("foo/bar") // => foo/bar
new RelativePath("/foo/bar", trimLeadingSlash = true) // => foo/bar
new RelativePath("/foo/bar"); // exception

Whether trimLeadingSlash should be true or false by default I am not sure. @PaGrom, what do you think? I would lean towards more strict behavior by default.

See TODO[#23] in the project sources when implementing this.
