<AutoLinkText />

A React component for converting URLs in a given string of text into clicking link tags.

The original package was published at OpenGov/react-autolink-text, but it seems to have been abandoned so I've published a fork to support ongoing development and keep up with new React versions.

Installation

npm install react-autolink-text2

Usage

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import AutoLinkText from 'react-autolink-text2';

ReactDOM.render(
  <AutoLinkText text='Check out this cool component: http://github.com/schneidmaster/react-autolink-text2' />,
  document.body
);

Props

• text (string) -- text to be autolinked
• [disableUrlStripping] (boolean) -- optional bypass of anchor text stripping
• [maxLength] (number) -- optional max text length, after which the provided text will be truncated
• [linkProps] (object) -- optional props to be set on generated link elements (target='_blank', rel='nofollow', custom classes, etc.)

Development

Prerequisites

• git
• npm
• yarn (optional/recommended)
