BREAKING CHANGES

  • React, jQuery and Element interfaces moved to dedicated packages at linkify-react,linkify-jquery and linkify-element respectively:
  • Remove default class="linkified" from all discovered links. Opt back in by setting the className option:
    linkifyStr(str, { className: 'linkified' })
  • Remove default target="_blank" attribute for discovered URLs. Opt back in by setting the target option:
    linkifyHtml(str, {
      target: (href, type) => type === 'url' && '_blank'
    })
  • React component: Remove outer <span> tag wrapper in favour of tag-less React.Fragment for React >=16. To opt back-in, set tagName='span':
    <Linkify tagName='span'>{content}</Linkify>
  • AMD module interface is no longer provided. Use an ESM bundler instead.
  • Plugins imported after linkify is called on a string for the first time will not longer work. Import all plugins before calling a linkify core or interface function.
  • Custom plugin API is not compatible with previous API in Linkify v2
  • Dropped support for Internet Explorer versions 9 and 10. IE11 is still supported
  • Dropped support for React versions <15
