Class Method Details

.allowed?(url, agent: "*") ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def self.allowed?(url, agent: "*") = Probot.new(url, agent: agent).allowed?(url)

Instance Method Details

#allowed ⇒ Object 



54
 
# File 'lib/probot.rb', line 54

def allowed = rules.dig(@agent, "allow") || rules.dig("*", "allow")

#allowed?(url) ⇒ Boolean

If a URL is not disallowed, it is allowed - so we check if it is explictly disallowed and if not, it’s allowed.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
