Anyone looking for a fun small rust project? Create a crate for cleaning urls, based on the ClearUrls project (lemmy.ml)

This would entail:

Pulling in the ClearUrls rules as a git submodule.
Reading / transforming the json there into Rust structs.
Creating a Rust crate that runs a .clean(input_url) -> String

@dessalines Did something similar last night. Might take a look into using ClearURLs instead: https://github.com/diogotcorreia/alt-urls-discord-bot

Nice! Ya that could be made very multi-purpose.

Looks trivial and easy to automate.
I possibly would have done it if they had a test suite.
But unless I didn't look hard enough, they have no tests at all (other than linting)!

Yep, it'd be a pretty small library. I'm not sure if they generate those JSON rules from somewhere else, but either way they could be converted to defined rust objects as part of a build process.

I just released a crate doing exactly that: https://crates.io/crates/clearurls

Let me know if if fits your need or you need anything else. Issues and PRs welcome.

Whoa nice! I'll check it out and see how we can integrate it into lemmy.
