Urlify Functions & Its Implementation

URLify is a simple gem that refines the conversion of UTF-8 strings to ASCII-safe URI strings and enables it to be used as readable URL-segments. After the gem is installed, you can call the URLify function for any UTF-8 string and it will be automatically converted into an ASCII-safe URI string. URLify also has the additional functionality of being able to remove the subtitles in a given input.

A Demo Of Implementation Of URLify

We can now start using URLify API and their attributes as shown below: .deaccentuate(string) ⇒ Object Removes diacritics from an input string’s characters. .strip_subtitle(string) ⇒ Object Removes everything from a string after the first colon. .urlify(string, separator = “_”) ⇒ Object Converts an input string into a URL-safe string. We can add URLify module to the String class and make deaccentuate, strip_subtitle, urlify as instance method by doing the following:
