Linkify urls in text

[JoepHeijnen]

Is there an existing issue for this?

The question

It seems that not all variants of urls are linkified in the text only the urls with a prefix like http or https. I see support for regex, but only for QuillToolbarImageButton and other kinds of buttons. What I want is that when I add one of the urls below that the editor automatically detects that it's an url.

Urls that are linkified
http://google.com
https://google.com
https://www.google.com

Urls that aren't linkified
www.google.com
google.com

I can remember that this used to work, but at the moment it isn't.

In QuillToolbar > QuillToolbarImageButton, you can update regex of the link for all cases that you know

Isn't this just the regex for adding an image with an url? I meant the urls in the text.

Sorry, my mistake.
You can update linkPrefixes at here.

// this is default
const linkPrefixes = [
  'mailto:', // email
  'tel:', // telephone
  'sms:', // SMS
  'callto:',
  'wtai:',
  'market:',
  'geopoint:',
  'ymsgr:',
  'msnim:',
  'gtalk:', // Google Talk
  'skype:',
  'sip:', // Lync
  'whatsapp:',
  'http'
];

Thanks for the response. This is really nice if you want a prefix, but in my use case I don't want the prefix. For example, www.google.com and google.com are links without an prefix, but are still a link.

You can fork, update and make a PR

Basically, before, the package supported regex determination, but no one really made a regex to support a text like google.com. You know what? Because of typographical errors, a lot of text will be automatically marked as a link
