noddity-linkifier

Given an html document, turns the bracket-based link syntax into html links, in a manner very similar to MediaWiki's Wikilinks.

Example

 
var Linkifier = require('.')
var linkify = new Linkifier('#/myposts/')
 
linkify('[[my-page.md]]') // => '<a href="#/myposts/my-page.md">my-page.md</a>'
 
linkify('[[super-awesome-post.md|CLICK HERE to read awesome things]] dawg!') // => '<a href="#/myposts/super-awesome-post.md">CLICK HERE to read awesome things</a> dawg!'
 
 

Usage

Constructor(rootPath)

Create yourself a linkifier object with a root path, like so:

var Linkifier = require('noddity-linkifier')

var linkify = new Linkifier('#/myposts/')

linkify is both a function, and an event emitter.

linkify(string)

Takes a string with html or whatever and returns a string with all of the links that aren't inside of <code> tags are replaced with html links.

Events

The linkifier object is an event emitter - it emits a 'link' event whenever a link is found and replaced. The sole argument is the target page - the examples from the top of the readme would have each emitted a 'link' event with a single argument 'my-page.md' and 'super-awesome-post.md', respectively.
