A Go parser for various social media handles and URLs.

## Overview

social-go parses usernames from various social media platforms, verifying that the supplied username matches validity rules for that platform.

social-go's checks are local - they don't verify whether the account actually exists on the platform, just that it conforms to the platform's published schemas for usernames.

## Install

```bash

go get -u github.com/mtlynch/social-go/v2

```

## Twitter

```golang

raw := "jack"

t1, _ := social.ParseTwitterHandle(raw)

fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", raw, t1)

// jack -> jack

raw = "@jack"

t2, _ := social.ParseTwitterHandle(raw)

fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", raw, t2)

// @jack -> jack

raw = "twitter.com/@jack"

t3, _ := social.ParseTwitterHandle(raw)

fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", raw, t3)

// twitter.com/@jack -> jack

```

## Facebook

```golang

raw := "zuck"

fb, _ := social.ParseFacebookUsername(raw)

fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", raw, fb)

// zuck -> zuck

raw = "https://facebook.com/zuck"

fb2, _ := social.ParseFacebookUsername(raw)

fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", raw, fb2)

// https://facebook.com/zuck -> zuck

```

## Instagram

```golang

raw := "chelseahandler"

h1, _ := social.ParseInstagramHandle(raw)

fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", raw, h1)

// chelseahandler -> chelseahandler

raw = "@chelseahandler"

h2, _ := social.ParseInstagramHandle(raw)

fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", raw, h2)

// @chelseahandler -> chelseahandler

raw = "instagram.com/@chelseahandler"

h3, _ := social.ParseInstagramHandle(raw)

fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", raw, h3)

// instagram.com/@chelseahandler -> chelseahandler
