It works on both snippets of HTML (or plain text) and complete HTML pages. There are many regex variations shared on the internet for performing this task, but few are robust. Linkify contains a large number of unit tests to counter this. It does not cover every possible valid-yet-never-used URLs and email addresses in order to handle 'real world' usage (eg no 'gopher://'). This means, for example, that it copes better with punctuation errors. It was forked in March 2019 as the original maintainers have stopped responding. See Authors ------- [](#authors) - Chris Wilkinson - JMB Technology It uses regex based on John Gruber's [Improved Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching URLs](http://daringfireball.net/2010/07/improved_regex_for_matching_urls). Installation ------------ [](#installation) `composer require jmbtechnologylimited/linkify` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` $linkify = new \Misd\Linkify\Linkify(); $text = 'This is my text containing a link to www.example.com.'; echo $linkify->process($text); ``` Will output: ``` This is my text containing a link to www.example.com. ``` ### Options [](#options) Options set on the constructor will be applied to all links. Alternatively you can place the options on a method call. The latter will override the former. ``` $linkify = new \Misd\Linkify\Linkify(array('attr' => array('class' => 'foo'))); $text = 'This is my text containing a link to www.example.com.'; echo $linkify->process($text); ``` Will output: ``` This is my text containing a link to www.example.com. ``` Whereas: ``` $linkify = new \Misd\Linkify\Linkify(array('attr' => array('class' => 'foo'))); $text = 'This is my text containing a link to www.example.com.'; echo $linkify->process($text, array('attr' => array('class' => 'bar'))); ``` Will output: ``` This is my text containing a link to www.example.com. ``` Available options are: #### `attr` [](#attr) An associative array of HTML attributes to add to the link. For example: ``` array('attr' => array('class' => 'foo', 'style' => 'font-weight: bold; color: red;') ``` #### `callback` [](#callback) A closure to call with each url match. The closure will be called for each URL found with three parameters: the url, the caption and a boolean `isEmail` (if `$isEmail` is true, then `$url` is equals to `$caption`. If the callback return a non-null value, this value replace the link in the resulting text. If null is returned, the usual `CAPTION` is used. ``` $linkify = new \Misd\Linkify\Linkify(array('callback' => function($url, $caption, $isEmail) { return '' . $caption . ''; })); echo $linkify->process('This link will be converted to bold: www.example.com.')); ``` Developers ---------- [](#developers) There is a vagrant box. Simply ssh in and type `test` to test. ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity12 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 78.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
