Linkable

Parsing libraries been getting outdated as the web evolve. Linkable takes a scalable approach supporting gTLDs, custom schemas and complex query parameters.

Usage

Require the library

require "linkable"

List all urls in a string

text = "Have you heard that github.com/zeeraw/linkable will detect your proprietary://special.snowflake.domain domain."
text.urls
# => [#<URI::Generic URL:github.com/zeeraw/linkable>, #<URI::Generic proprietary://special.snowflake.domain>]

Replace urls with link tags

"Follow me on twitter http://twitter.com/zeeraw".link
# => "Follow me on twitter <a href='http://twitter.com/zeeraw'>http://twitter.com/zeeraw</a>"

Replace urls manually

text = "Follow me on twitter http://twitter.com/zeeraw"
text.replace_urls { |url| "<a href=#{ url }> @#{ url.path[1..-1] }</a>" }
# => "Follow me on twitter <a href='http://twitter.com/zeeraw'>@zeeraw</a>"

Installation

Add this line to your project's Gemfile:

gem "linkable"

And then execute:
