# root_domain If you ever worked with domain validation, you probably needed to extract the root domain. This means that, given some hostname, you must remove subdomains from the original input, taking into account not only official Internet [TLDs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-level_domain), but [SLDs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-level_domain) too. With root_domain, you can easily extract the root domain, expanding any input from punycode into ASCII entries. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem "root_domain" ``` And then execute: $ bundle install Or install it yourself as: $ gem install root_domain ## Usage ```ruby require "root_domain" RootDomain.call("www.example.com") #=> example.com RootDomain.call("www.example.com.br") #=> example.com.br RootDomain.call("myapp.apps.🤯.com") #=> xn--oq9h.com ``` ## Changelog The changelog file is available at [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/fnando/root_domain/tree/main/CHANGELOG.md) ## Development After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
