Word Link

Allows you to convert specific words into links. Inspired by Drupal module word_link.

This can be useful for crossposting your site's pages, or for the contextual advertising of your partners (SEO).

Examples

var WordLink = require('word-link');
var text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.";

Replace words with a link:

WordLink.apply(text, 'ipsum', 'http://example.com');
// "Lorem <a href="http://example.com">ipsum</a> dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit."

Find words with regex and replace them with a link:

WordLink.apply(text, '(ipsum|elit)', 'http://example.com');
// "Lorem <a href="http://example.com">ipsum</a> dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing <a href="http://example.com">elit</a>."

Word Link understands html. It will ignore existed links and tag attributes:

var html = '<p>Lorem <a href="http://ipsum.com" class="ipsum">ipsum</a> dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>';
 
WordLink.apply(html, 'ipsum', 'http://example.com');
// "<p>Lorem <a href="http://ipsum.com" class="ipsum">ipsum</a> dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>"

TODOs
