This is an extraction of the auto_link
method from rails. The auto_link
method was removed from Rails in version Rails 3.1. This gem is meant to
bridge the gap for people migrating.
By default auto_link returns sanitized html_safe strings. This behaviour can
be overridden by setting the :sanitize
option to false (thus making it
insecure if you don't have the content under control).
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'rails_autolink'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
require 'rails_autolink'
auto_link("Go to http://www.rubyonrails.org and say hello to [email protected]")
# => "Go to <a href=\"http://www.rubyonrails.org\">http://www.rubyonrails.org</a> and
# say hello to <a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>"
auto_link("Visit http://www.loudthinking.com/ or e-mail [email protected]", :link => :urls)
# => "Visit <a href=\"http://www.loudthinking.com/\">http://www.loudthinking.com/</a>
# or e-mail [email protected]"
auto_link("Visit http://www.loudthinking.com/ or e-mail [email protected]", :link => :email_addresses)
# => "Visit http://www.loudthinking.com/ or e-mail <a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>"
## By default, HTML tags are sanitized to protect from malicious code
auto_link("Go to http://www.rubyonrails.org <script>Malicious code!</script>")
# => "Go to <a href=\"http://www.rubyonrails.org\">http://www.rubyonrails.org</a> "
## Use the :sanitize => false option to prevent sanitization
auto_link("Go to http://www.rubyonrails.org <script>alert('Script!')</script>", :sanitize => false)
# => "Go to <a href=\"http://www.rubyonrails.org\">http://www.rubyonrails.org</a> <script>alert('Script!')</script>"
post_body = "Welcome to my new blog at http://www.myblog.com/. Please e-mail me at [email protected]."
auto_link(post_body, :html => { :target => '_blank' }) do |text|
truncate(text, :length => 15)
end
# => "Welcome to my new blog at <a href=\"http://www.myblog.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.m...</a>.
