social-linkify

Converts inline urls, #hashtags, @mentions, etc. into clickable links. Supports linkifying plain text, or HTML. Works in Node or the browser.

API

The linkify function accepts three arguments:

linkify(string, source, sourceEntities);

• The text to linkify
• The name of the source where this content originated
• Optionally, some entities returned by that source's API (only twitter or facebook at the moment).

The linkify.html function accepts the first two arguments above.

Example

var linkify = require('social-linkify');
 
// Linkify a tweet with entities from the Twitter API
linkify('Testing #hashtag @username http://google.com/', 'twitter', entities);
 
// Linkify a Facebook post with message_tags from the Facebook API
