:: FilePath -> String -is:exact

Get the extension of a file, returns "" for no extension, .ext otherwise.

takeExtension "/directory/path.ext" == ".ext"
takeExtension x == snd (splitExtension x)
Valid x => takeExtension (addExtension x "ext") == ".ext"
Valid x => takeExtension (replaceExtension x "ext") == ".ext"

Get all extensions.

takeExtensions "/directory/path.ext" == ".ext"
takeExtensions "file.tar.gz" == ".tar.gz"

Get the base name, without an extension or path.

takeBaseName "/directory/file.ext" == "file"
takeBaseName "file/test.txt" == "test"
takeBaseName "dave.ext" == "dave"
takeBaseName "" == ""
takeBaseName "test" == "test"
takeBaseName (addTrailingPathSeparator x) == ""
takeBaseName "file/file.tar.gz" == "file.tar"

Attempt to convert a FilePath to a string suitable for use with functions in System.IO. The contents of this string are platform‐dependent, and are not guaranteed to be human‐readable. For converting FilePaths to a human‐readable format, use toText. Since: 0.3.1

Derive module name from specified path.

Deprecated: Use id instead

Retrieve a FilePath's basename component

The golden test context for adding context to a golden test assertion:

goldenTestCompare = \actual expected ->
if actual == expected
then Nothing
else Just $ Context (stringsNotEqualButShouldHaveBeenEqual actual expected) (goldenContext fp)

Convert a filepath to an URL starting from the site root Example:

toUrl "foo/bar.html"

Result:

"/foo/bar.html"

This also sanitizes the URL, e.g. converting spaces into '%20'

Deprecated: Use id

Get the extension of a file, returns "" for no extension, .ext otherwise.

takeExtension x == snd (splitExtension x)
Valid x => takeExtension (addExtension x "ext") == ".ext"
Valid x => takeExtension (replaceExtension x "ext") == ".ext"

Get all extensions

takeExtensions "file.tar.gz" == ".tar.gz"

Get the base name, without an extension or path.

takeBaseName "file/test.txt" == "test"
takeBaseName "dave.ext" == "dave"
takeBaseName "" == ""
takeBaseName "test" == "test"
takeBaseName (addTrailingPathSeparator x) == ""
takeBaseName "file/file.tar.gz" == "file.tar"

Convert a FilePath to a platform‐specific format, suitable for use with external OS functions. Note: The type platformTextFormat can change depending upon the underlying compilation platform. Consider using toText or encodeString instead. See Rules for more information. Since: 0.3

A specialised variant of showsPrec, using precedence context zero, and returning an ordinary String.

Convert a generic value into a pretty Value, if possible.

The type passed in must have a Show instance which produces a valid Haskell expression. Returns an empty String if this is not the case. This is not TH-specific, but useful in general.
