Silex-Autolink
==============

[](#silex-autolink)

A lightweight service provider for Silex which adds an autolink Twig extension.

Identifying URLs in strings is not easy. This is a rough and pragmatic first attempt. Feedback is welcome!

Useful information on autolinking can be found in [this article](http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/10/the-problem-with-urls.html) by Martin Fowler (also check out the numerous comments) and also in the book [Mastering Regular Expressions](http://regex.info/) by Jeffrey Friedl.

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

[](#installation)

Recommended installation is [through composer](http://getcomposer.org). Just add the following to your `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "nicl/silex-autolink": "1.0.*"
    }
}

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use the service provider first register it:

```
$app->register(new AutolinkServiceProvider());

```

You can then use the autolink filter in Twig files. For example:

```
{{ 'Check out this site: http://example.com'|autolink }}

```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

If you wish to run the tests you need to have [PHPUnit](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/) installed. Then, from the silex-autolink root directory run:

```
phpunit

```

(You may need to adapt the phpunit command and paths depending on your configuration.)
