react-text-format

react-text-format

React Component to find and format links, emails, phone numbers and credit cards to required format.

Installation

yarn add react-text-format

or

npm install react-text-format --save

Usage

Basic

Any link that appears inside the ReactTextFormat component will become clickable.

<ReactTextFormat>
    Contact me via my gmail.com account
    [e-mail] or call me at
    123.456.7890
</ReactTextFormat>

Advanced

If you're feeling lazy, you can wrap ReactTextFormat around anywhere that you want links to become clickable. Even with nested elements, it traverses the tree to find links.

<ReactTextFormat>
  <div>Visit our site http://reactninja.com</div>
    <div>React component to parse links urls, emails, credit cards,
    phone in text into required format</div>
    <footer>Shoot Us a message at : [e-mail]</footer>

Props

allowedFormats (Array) The allowedFormats attribute specifies the allowed formats which will be allowed to format through react-text-format. Default prop values of allowedFormats are

['URL', 'Email', 'Phone']

react-text-format allows the following formats

['URL', 'Email', 'Phone', 'CreditCard']

import ReactTextFormat from 'react-text-format';

React.render(
    <ReactTextFormat allowedFormats={['URL', 'Phone']}>

    </ReactTextFormat>,
  document.body
);

LinkDecorator You can create your own decorator for links and define that as a prop. ReactTextFormat will find the links and will render the links in defined format.

import ReactTextFormat from 'react-text-format';

customLinkDecorator = (href, text, linkTarget, key) => {
    return (
      <a
        href={href}
        key={key}
        target={linkTarget}
        rel="noopener"
        className="customLinkStyle"
      >
        {text}
      </a>
