Auto No Follow
==============

[](#auto-no-follow)

This simple PHP package has one simple purpose; to take some HTML (as a string), go through it and add `rel="nofollow"` to all links, subject to certain exceptions.

So give it this:

```
Check out our affordable web design services!
```

...and you get this:

```
Check out our affordable web design services!
```

By default, it will ignore relative links, so this would remain untouched:

```
Check out the about page
```

It will also ignore absolute links to the current domain.

You can also provide a whitelist of domains, and it will skip them.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require lukaswhite/auto-no-follow
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create an instance:

```
$processor = new \Lukaswhite\AutoNoFollow\Processor();
```

Optionally specify the current host:

```
$processor->setCurrentHost('example.com');
```

> If you don't set this, it'll grab it from `$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']`

Then run:

```
$html = $processor->addLinks('Check out our affordable web design services!');
```

The method signature is this:

```
public function addLinks($html, $whitelist = array(), $ignoreRelative = true)
```

So, to whitelist certain hosts:

```
$html = $processor->addLinks(
  'Check out our affordable web design services!'
  [
  	'example.com'
  ]
);
```

To add `nofollow` to relative links anyway, set the third argument to true, e.g.:

```
$html = $processor->addLinks(
  'Check out the about page'
  [],
  TRUE
);
```

This will output the following:

```
Check out the about page
```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

The package contains tests, to run them:

```
./vendor/bin/phpunit
```
