Hyperlink component for docs.plus
npm install @docs.plus/extension-hyperlink
The Link extension adds support for tags to the editor. The extension is headless, there is no actual UI to add, modify or delete links. The usage example below uses the native JavaScript prompt to show you how that could work.
In a real world application, you would probably add a more sophisticated user interface.
```sh``
npm install @docs.plus/extension-hyperlink
Additional custom protocols you would like to be recognized as links.
Default: []
``js``
Hyperlink.configure({
protocols: ['ftp', 'mailto'],
})
By default, linkify adds // to the end of a protocol however this behavior can be changed by passing optionalSlashes option
``js``
Hyperlink.configure({
protocols: [
{
scheme: 'tel',
optionalSlashes: true
}
]
})
If enabled, it adds links as you type.
Default: true
``js``
Hyperlink.configure({
autolink: false,
})
If enabled, links will be opened on click.
Default: true
``js``
Hyperlink.configure({
openOnClick: false,
})
Adds a link to the current selection if the pasted content only contains an url.
Default: true
``js``
Hyperlink.configure({
linkOnPaste: false,
})
Custom HTML attributes that should be added to the rendered HTML tag.
``js``
Hyperlink.configure({
HTMLAttributes: {
class: 'my-custom-class',
},
})
The Modals configuration option lets you incorporate an interactive user interface similar to Google Docs for setting and previewing hyperlinks. This provides users with a more intuitive and interactive experience;
The previewHyperlinkModal
function
`ts
function previewHyperlinkModal(options) {
const href = options.link.href;
const hyperlinkModal = document.createElement("div");
const removeButton = document.createElement("button");
const copyButton = document.createElement("button");
const newBubble = document.createElement("div");
newBubble.classList.add("hyperlink-preview-modal__metadata");
const hrefTitle = document.createElement("a");
hrefTitle.setAttribute("target", "_blank");
hrefTitle.setAttribute("rel", "noreferrer");
hrefTitle.setAttribute("href", href);
hrefTitle.innerText = href;
newBubble.append(hrefTitle);
hyperlinkModal.classList.add("hyperlink-preview-modal");
removeButton.classList.add("hyperlink-preview-modal__remove-button");
removeButton.innerHTML = "remove";
copyButton.classList.add("hyperlink-preview-modal__copy-button");
copyButton.innerHTML = "copy";
removeButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
options.tippy.hide();
return options.editor.chain().focus().unsetHyperlink().run();
});
copyButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
options.tippy.hide();
navigator.clipboard.writeText(href);
});
hyperlinkModal.append(newBubble, copyButton, removeButton);
return hyperlinkModal;
}
`
The setHyperlinkModal
function
`ts
import { Editor } from "@tiptap/core";
import { find } from "linkifyjs";
let tooltip = undefined;
function setHyperlinkModal(options) {
// Create the tooltip instance
if (!tooltip) tooltip = new options.Tooltip(options);
// Initialize the tooltip
let { tippyModal } = tooltip.init();
const hyperlinkModal = document.createElement("div");
const buttonsWrapper = document.createElement("div");
const inputsWrapper = document.createElement("div");
hyperlinkModal.classList.add("hyperlink-set-modal");
buttonsWrapper.classList.add("hyperlink-set-modal__buttons-wrapper");
inputsWrapper.classList.add("hyperlink-set-modal__inputs-wrapper");
// create a form that contain url input and a button for submit
const form = document.createElement("form");
const input = document.createElement("input");
const button = document.createElement("button");
input.setAttribute("type", "text");
input.setAttribute("placeholder", "https://example.com");
button.setAttribute("type", "submit");
button.innerText = "Submit";
inputsWrapper.append(input);
buttonsWrapper.append(button);
form.append(inputsWrapper, buttonsWrapper);
hyperlinkModal.append(form);
tippyModal.innerHTML = "";
tippyModal.append(hyperlinkModal);
tooltip.update(options.editor.view, {
arrow: options.roundArrow,
});
// make sure
setTimeout(() => input.focus();, 100);
// event listenr for submit button
form.addEventListener("submit", (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
const url = input.value;
if (!url) return;
const sanitizeURL = find(url)
.filter((link) => link.isLink)
.filter((link) => {
if (options.validate) {
return options.validate(link.value);
}
return true;
})
.at(0);
if (!sanitizeURL?.href) return;
tooltip?.hide();
return options.editor
.chain()
.setMark(options.extentionName, { href: sanitizeURL.href })
.setMeta("preventautohyperlink", true)
.run();
});
}

``ts
import {
Hyperlink,
previewHyperlinkModal,
setHyperlinkModal
} from "@docs.plus/extension-hyperlink";
Hyperlink.configure({

You can add rel: null to HTMLAttributes to remove the default rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow". You can also override the default by using rel: "your-value".
This can also be used to change the target from the default value of _blank.
``js``
Hyperlink.configure({
HTMLAttributes: {
// Change rel to different value
// Allow search engines to follow links(remove nofollow)
rel: 'noopener noreferrer',
// Remove target entirely so links open in current tab
target: null,
},
})
A function that validates every autolinked link. If it exists, it will be called with the link href as argument. If it returns false, the link will be removed.
Can be used to set rules for example excluding or including certain domains, tlds, etc.
``js``
// only autolink urls with a protocol
Hyperlink.configure({
validate: href => /^https?:\/\//.test(href),
})
These commands allow you to edit the text and href value of a hyperlink.
`js`
this.editor.commands.editHyperLinkText('New Text');
this.editor.commands.editHyperLinkHref('https://new-url.com');
this.editor.commands.editHyperlink({
newText: 'New Text',
newURL: 'https://new-url.com'
});
Links the selected text.
``js
this.editor.commands.setHyperlink({
href: '
});
this.editor.commands.setHyperlink({
href: '
target: '_blank'
});
this.editor.commands.unsetHyperlink();
``
Removes a Hyperlink.
``js``
this.editor.commands.unsetHyperlink();
Doesn’t have a keyboard shortcut
This extension doesn’t bind a specific keyboard shortcut. You would probably open your custom UI on Mod-k though.
Did you know that you can use getAttributes to find out which attributes, for example which href, is currently set? Don’t confuse it with a command (which changes the state), it’s just a method. Here is how that could look like:
`js``
this.editor.getAttributes('link').href

Thank you for exploring our Hyperlink extension from docs.plus! We aim to make collaboration and knowledge sharing not just easy, but also enjoyable.
Our extension is inspired by Tiptap's extension-link. While we've incorporated our own enhancements, we'd like to tip our hats to Tiptap for pioneering the "headless" approach that we admire greatly.
> Please note: We're not affiliated with Tiptap, but we believe in recognizing foundational work.
Your feedback and interest in docs.plus are invaluable to us. Share your thoughts, suggestions, or dive deeper into our mission at the docs.plus repository.
