`Janiczek/elm-url-codec`

A simpler alternative to the elm/url package.

Url.Codec allows you to define both the URL parser and the URL builder at the same time.
Url.SimpleParser only deals with parsing, but has a nicer API than elm/url.

Accepts both the Url type and strings like:

post/hello-world/comments/2
post/hello-world/comments/2/
/post/hello-world/comments/2
/post/hello-world/comments/2/

/path?admin=true
/path?admin=true&fireZeMissiles=1
/path?highlight=123&highlight=154
/path?foo&bar

/path#something

Example

import Url.Codec exposing (Codec)


type Route
    = Topic String
    | Blog Int String


topicCodec : Codec Route
topicCodec =
    Url.Codec.succeed Topic isTopicRoute
        |> Url.Codec.s "topic"
        |> Url.Codec.string getTopicSlug


--     needed for Url.Codec
-- not needed for Url.SimpleParser
getTopicSlug : Route -> Maybe String
getTopicSlug route =
    case route of
        Topic slug ->
            Just slug

        _ ->
            Nothing

--     needed for Url.Codec
-- not needed for Url.SimpleParser
isTopicRoute : Route -> Bool
isTopicRoute route =
    case route of
        Topic _ ->
            True

        _ ->
            False

Url.Codec.parsePath [topicCodec] "topic/hello-world"
--> Ok (Topic "hello-world")


Url.Codec.toString [topicCodec] (Topic "foo-bar-baz")
--> Just "topic/foo-bar-baz"
