Rails URL validation gem

by scient —

Following the email validation gem, we made a small URL validation gem also. The difference is that this works with both Rails 2 and Rails 3. It’s pretty naive in its implementation, but it generally does the trick.

You can see the source at GitHub or grab the gem itself from RubyGems.

This is really useful something I implemented today with a regexp actually however, is waiting for an exception to be raised and catching it the best option?

Well i have not actually benchmarked it, but throwing an exception vs. applying a regexp should not be an issue performance wise.

You can use basic HTML markup (e.g. <a>) or Markdown.
