lektor.utils.build_url (pieces, trailing_slash=None)

  • New in Lektor Version 2.0

This function assists in creating URL paths from individual segments. This is particularly useful for building virtual source objects. It takes a bunch of path segments and returns an absolute path. The default behavior is to guess the trailing slash based on the presence of a dot in the last path segment. If you want to override the detection you can explicitly pass True to enforce a trailing slash or False to avoid it.

Example

>>> from lektor.utils import build_url
>>> build_url(['foo', 42])
u'/foo/42/'
>>> build_url(['foo', None, 23])
u'/foo/23/'
>>> build_url(['foo', 'hello.html'])
u'/foo/hello.html'
