Reconfigures Rails ActionDispatch's TLD handling dynamically based on the request host, so you don't have to mess with config.action_dispatch.tld_length for cross-device testing using xip.io and friends

host_based_tld_length.rb

# Reconfigures ActionDispatch's TLD handling dynamically based on the request
# host, so you don't have to mess with config.action_dispatch.tld_length for
# cross-device testing using xip.io and friends
#
# Examples:
#   use Rack::HostBasedTldLength, /xip\.io/, 5
class Rack::HostBasedTldLength

  def initialize(app, host_pattern, host_tld_length)
    @app = app
    @host_pattern = Regexp.new(host_pattern)
    @host_tld_length = host_tld_length
  end

  def call(env)
    original_tld_length = tld_length

    request = Rack::Request.new(env)

    set_tld_length(@host_tld_length) if request.host =~ @host_pattern

    @app.call(env)
  ensure
    set_tld_length(original_tld_length)
  end

  private

  def tld_length
    ActionDispatch::Http::URL.tld_length
  end
  def set_tld_length(length)
    ActionDispatch::Http::URL.tld_length = length
  end

end

For the unknowing ones (like me):

1. Put this code into lib/rack/host_based_tld_length.rb
2. Add config.middleware.use Rack::HostBasedTldLength, /xip\.io/, 5 to your config/development.rb
3. Connect to your app using 192.168.1.123.xip.io:3000 (when 192.168.1.123 is your local IP); you can even connect to a subdomain of your app like this: subdomain.192.168.1.123.xip.io:3000!

Thanks for this nice piece of code! 👍

awesome, thanks
