Autolink

Autolink.cr is a Crystal shard that automatically turns URLs into links.

Example:

auto_link("Welcome to my profile https://github.com/hugoabonizio")
# => Welcome to my profile <a href="https://github.com/hugoabonizio">https://github.com/hugoabonizio</a>

Installation

Add this to your application’s shard.yml:

dependencies:
  autolink:
    github: crystal-community/autolink.cr

Usage

require "autolink"
include Autolink
auto_link("My blog: http://www.myblog.com/", html: {"class" => "menu", "target" => "_blank"})
# => My blog: <a href="http://www.myblog.com/" class="menu" target="_blank">http://www.myblog.com/</a>

Simple autolink

Without providing any HTML options autolink.cr will just wrap the URL with <a> tag.

Autolink.auto_link("Welcome to my new blog at http://www.myblog.com/")
# => Welcome to my new blog at <a href="http://www.myblog.com/">http://www.myblog.com/</a>

Custom tag attributes

The <a> tag can receive custom attributes.

Autolink.auto_link("My blog: http://www.myblog.com/", html: {"class" => "menu", "target" => "_blank"})
# => My blog: <a href="http://www.myblog.com/" class="menu" target="_blank">http://www.myblog.com/</a>
