Module: Spectate::Encode

Included in:
Status
Defined in:
lib/spectate/encode.rb

Overview

A convenience module to provide URI-safe versions of spectator names. It essentially just uses URI::Escape on the strings, but with the additional conversion of spaces to underscores (and underscores to double underscores) because having lots of ‘%20’ blobs in a URL is painful on the eyes.
