resolve_link 1.2.0

Resolve complete/partial URLs against a canonical target URL

Resolve complete/partial URLs against a canonical target URL

This library was built to resolve URLs when candidates submit incompleted URLs (e.g. missing protocol, username only).

# Username only
resolve_link('underdogio', 'https://github.com/')
    # https://github.com/underdogio

# Missing protocol
resolve_link('www.linkedin.com/in/toddwolfson', 'https://www.linkedin.com/')
    # https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddwolfson

# Custom website
resolve_link('https://underdog.io/', 'https://www.linkedin.com/')
    # https://underdog.io/

# Complete URL
resolve_link('https://github.com/underdogio', 'https://github.com/')
    # https://github.com/underdogio

This is a port of our JavaScript library resolve-link.

Getting Started
