ember-linkify

Linkify URLs in an Ember app with a helper that uses a tested url-regex and Handlebars Utils.escapeExpression to ensure links are safe.

Installation

ember install ember-linkify

Usage

{{linkify post.description}}

{{linkify commentText}}

Use the helper with a raw string

{{linkify 'Here is a link: https://google.com and some attempted XSS <script>alert("xss!");</script>'}}
{{! => 'Here is a link: <a href="https://google.com">https://google.com</a> and some attempted XSS &lt;script&gt;alert(&quot;xss!&quot;);&lt;/script&gt;'}}

Or with a variable bound to an input

{{textarea value=text placeholder='Enter some text with a url'}}
{{linkify text}}

You can specify options to the helper such as 'urlLength' which shortens the URL by 'urlLength' and add 3 dots to the end

{{linkify text urlLength=30}}

The 'defaultScheme' option specifies a scheme to use for URLs that don’t already have one.

For instance, the following will ensure that the https scheme is used for the created link:

{{linkify 'Link without a scheme: www.foo.com' defaultScheme='https'}}

Also use options to specify attributes you want to add to the generated anchor tags. Currently, "target", "rel" and "class" are the only recognized attributes.

{{linkify text target='_blank' rel='nofollow' class='external-link'}}
