## Demo

View all the directives in action at https://anthonynahas.github.io/ngx-linkifyjs

## [Documentation](https://anthonynahas.github.io/ngx-linkifyjs/doc/index.html)

## Dependencies
* [Angular](https://angular.io) (*requires* Angular 2 or higher, tested with 7.x)

# Installation

## 1. Install via *ng add*. (Recommended)

Now add the library via the `angular schematics`
```shell
ng add ngx-linkifyjs
```

## 2. Install via *npm*. (Alternative)

Now install `ngx-linkifyjs` via:
```shell
npm i -s ngx-linkifyjs
```

---
##### SystemJS
>**Note**:If you are using `SystemJS`, you should adjust your configuration to point to the UMD bundle.
In your systemjs config file, `map` needs to tell the System loader where to look for `ngx-linkifyjs`:
```js
{
'ngx-linkifyjs';: 'node_modules/ngx-linkifyjs/bundles/ngx-linkifyjs.umd.js',
}
```
---

Once installed you need to import the main module:
```js
import { NgxLinkifyjsModule } from 'ngx-linkifyjs';
```
The only remaining part is to list the imported module in your application module. The exact method will be slightly
different for the root (top-level) module for which you should end up with the code similar to (notice ` NgxLinkifyjsModule .forRoot()`):
```typescript
import { NgxLinkifyjsModule } from 'ngx-linkifyjs';

@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
imports: [NgxLinkifyjsModule.forRoot(), ...],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}
```

Other modules in your application can simply import ` NgxLinkifyjsModule `:

```js
import { NgxLinkifyjsModule } from 'ngx-linkifyjs';

@NgModule({
declarations: [OtherComponent, ...],
imports: [NgxLinkifyjsModule, ...],
})
export class OtherModule {
}
```

## Usage

Once the library is imported, you can use its components, directives and pipes in your Angular application:

### Options

`ngx-linkifyjs` provides an appropriate option interface called `NgxLinkifyOptions` to access [the native options of the linkifyjs library](https://soapbox.github.io/linkifyjs/docs/options.html)
and all of them are optional
- Default values

```typescript

import { NgxLinkifyOptions } from 'ngx-linkifyjs';

const options: NgxLinkifyOptions =
{
attributes: null,
className: 'linkified',
defaultProtocol: 'http',
events: null,
format: function (value, type) {
return value;
},
formatHref: function (href, type) {
return href;
},
ignoreTags: [],
nl2br: false,
tagName: 'a',
target: {
url: '_blank'
},
validate: true
};
```

### Pipe

`{{text | linkify}}`

```html

```

**result**: Linkify the following URL: [https://github.com/anthonynahas/ngx-linkifyjs](https://github.com/anthonynahas/ngx-linkifyjs) and share it <3

if you prefer to provide your own option to the `pipe`, you can use it like the following:

- `{{text | linkify: 'options' }}`
- `{{text | linkify: '{/*your options*/}' }}`
- `{{text | linkify: '{target {url: "_self" }}' }}`

### Service

Inject the `NgxLinkifyjsService` service

```typescript
import {NgxLinkifyjsService, Link, LinkType} from 'ngx-linkifyjs';

constructor(public; NgxLinkifyjsService;) {
}
}
```

#### linkify _(text: string, options?: NgxLinkifyOptions): string_

Convert a basic text string to a valid linkified text

**Params**

* **`text`** : _`String`_ Text to linkify --> to convert with links
* **`options`** : _`NgxLinkifyjsService`_ options to pass it to the linkifyjs library and it's optional

**Returns** _`String`_ converted text with links

```typescript
import {NgxLinkifyjsService, Link, LinkType, NgxLinkifyOptions} from 'ngx-linkifyjs';

constructor(public; NgxLinkifyjsService;) {

const options: NgxLinkifyOptions =
{
className: 'linkifiedYES',
target : {
url : '_self'
}
};

this.linkifyService.linkify('For help with GitHub.com, please email [email protected]');
// result 1 --> see below

this.linkifyService.linkify('For help with GitHub.com, please email [email protected]', options);
// result 2 --> see below
}
}
```

result 1
```typescript
'For help with GitHub.com, please email [email protected]'
```

result 2
```typescript
'For help with GitHub.com, please email [email protected]'
```

#### `find` method

Finds all links in the given string

**Params**

* **`text`** : _`String`_ search text string

**Returns** _`Array`_ List of links where each element is a hash with properties type, value, and href:

* **type** is the type of entity found. Possible values are
- `'url'`
- `'email'`
- `'hashtag'` (if Hashtag is enabled via config/default `true`)
- `'mention'` (if Mention is enabled via config/default `true`)
* **value** is the original entity substring.
* **href** should be the value of this link's `href` attribute.

```typescript
import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {NgxLinkifyjsService, Link, LinkType} from 'ngx-linkifyjs';

@Component({
selector: 'app-home',
templateUrl: './home.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./home.component.scss']
})
export class HomeComponent {

constructor(public linkifyService: NgxLinkifyjsService) {
const foundLinks: Link[] = this.linkifyService.find('Any links to github.com here? If not, contact [email protected]');

// result - output --> see below
}

}
```

```typescript
// Result
[
{
type: LinkType.URL,
value: 'github.com',
href: 'http://github.com'
},
{
type: LinkType.EMAIL,
value: '[email protected]',
href: 'mailto:[email protected]'
}
]
```

#### `test` method

Is the given string a link? Not to be used for strict validation - See [Caveats](caveats.html)

**Params**

* **`value`** : _`String`_ | _`Array`_ Test string

**Returns** _`Boolean`_

```typescript
import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {NgxLinkifyjsService} from 'ngx-linkifyjs';

@Component({
selector: 'app-home',
templateUrl: './home.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./home.component.scss']
})
export class HomeComponent {

constructor(public linkifyService: NgxLinkifyjsService) {
this.linkifyService.test('github.com'); // return true
this.linkifyService.test('[email protected]'); // return true
this.linkifyService.test(['github.com', 'email']); // return false
this.linkifyService.test('helloWorld'); // return false
}
}
```

#### Enable/Disable the hash and mention

The config argument is 100% optional, otherwise we will take the default values `true`

```typescript
import { NgxLinkifyjsModule } from 'ngx-linkifyjs';

@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
imports: [NgxLinkifyjsModule.forRoot(
{
enableHash: false, // optional - default true
enableMention: false // optional - default true
}), ...],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}
```
