Overview

This class is abstract.

Abstract rule class

This represent the base class for a Rule definition in the Public Suffix List.

This is intended to be an Abstract class and you shouldn’t create a direct instance. The only purpose of this class is to expose a common interface for all the available subclasses.

Properties

A rule is composed by 4 properties:

name - The name of the rule, corresponding to the rule definition

in the public suffix list

value - The value, a normalized version of the rule name.

The normalization process depends on rule tpe.

type - The rule type (:normal, :wildcard, :exception) labels - The canonicalized rule name

Here’s an example

PublicSuffix::Rule.factory("*.google.com")
#<PublicSuffix::Rule::Wildcard:0x1015c14b0
    @labels=["com", "google"],
    @name="*.google.com",
    @type=:wildcard,
    @value="google.com"
>

Rule Creation

The best way to create a new rule is passing the rule name to the PublicSuffix::Rule.factory method.

PublicSuffix::Rule.factory("com")
# => PublicSuffix::Rule::Normal

PublicSuffix::Rule.factory("*.com")
# => PublicSuffix::Rule::Wildcard

This method will detect the rule type and create an instance from the proper rule class.

Rule Usage

A rule describes the composition of a domain name and explains how to tokenize the domain name into tld, sld and trd.

To use a rule, you first need to be sure the domain you want to tokenize can be handled by the current rule. You can use the #match? method.

rule = PublicSuffix::Rule.factory("com")

rule.match?("google.com")
# => true

rule.match?("google.com")
# => false

Rule order is significant. A domain can match more than one rule. See the Public Suffix Documentation to learn more about rule priority.

When you have the right rule, you can use it to tokenize the domain name.

rule = PublicSuffix::Rule.factory("com")

rule.decompose("google.com")
# => ["google", "com"]

rule.decompose("www.google.com")
# => ["www.google", "com"]

Constructor Details

#initialize(name, value = nil) ⇒ Base

Initializes a new rule with name and value. If value is nil, name also becomes the value for this rule.

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    The name of the rule

  • value (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The value of the rule. If nil, defaults to name.

def initialize(name, value = nil)
  @name   = name.to_s
  @value  = value || @name
  @type   = self.class.name.split("::").last.downcase.to_sym
  @labels = Domain.domain_to_labels(@value)
end

Instance Method Details

#==(other) ⇒ Boolean Also known as: eql?

Checks whether this rule is equal to other.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    Returns true if this rule and other are instances of the same class and has the same value, false otherwise.

def ==(other)
  return false unless other.is_a?(self.class)
  self.equal?(other) ||
  self.name == other.name
end

#allow?(domain) ⇒ Boolean

Checks if this rule allows domain.

Examples:

rule = Rule.factory("*.do")
# => #<PublicSuffix::Rule::Wildcard>
rule.allow?("example.do")
# => false
rule.allow?("www.example.do")
# => true

Parameters:

  • domain (String, #to_s) —

    The domain name to check.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def allow?(domain)
  !decompose(domain).last.nil?
end

#decompose(domain) ⇒ Array<String, nil>

This method is abstract.

Parameters:

  • domain (String, #to_s) —

    The domain name to decompose.

Returns:

  • (Array<String, nil>)

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

# File 'lib/public_suffix/rule.rb', line 240

def decompose(domain)
  raise NotImplementedError
end

#length ⇒ Integer

Gets the length of this rule for comparison. The length usually matches the number of rule parts.

Subclasses might actually override this method.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The number of parts.

end

#match?(domain) ⇒ Boolean

Checks if this rule matches domain.

Examples:

rule = Rule.factory("com")
# #<PublicSuffix::Rule::Normal>
rule.match?("example.com")
# => true
rule.match?("example.net")
# => false

Parameters:

  • domain (String, #to_s) —

    The domain name to check.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
