Package Exports

rehype-external-links

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (rehype-external-links) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

rehype-external-links

rehype plugin to automatically add target and rel attributes to external links.

Install

This package is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required.

npm:

npm install rehype-external-links

Use

Say we have the following module, example.js:

import {unified} from 'unified'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
import rehypeExternalLinks from 'rehype-external-links'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'

const input = '[rehype](https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype)'

unified()
  .use(remarkParse)
  .use(remarkRehype)
  .use(rehypeExternalLinks, {target: false, rel: ['nofollow']})
  .use(rehypeStringify)
  .process(input)
  .then((file) => {
    console.log(String(file))
  })

Now, running node example yields:

<p><a href="https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype" rel="nofollow">rehype</a></p>

API

This package exports no identifiers. The default export is rehypeExternalLinks.

`unified().use(rehypeExternalLinks[, options])`

Automatically add target and rel attributes to external links.

`options`

`options.target`

How to display referenced documents (string?: _self, _blank, _parent, or _top, default: _blank). Pass false to not set targets on links.

`options.rel`

Link types to hint about the referenced documents (Array.<string> or string, default: ['nofollow', 'noopener', 'noreferrer']). Pass false to not set rels on links.

Note: when using a target, add noopener and noreferrer to avoid exploitation of the window.opener API.

`options.protocols`

Protocols to check, such as mailto or tel (Array.<string>, default: ['http', 'https']).

`options.content`

hast content to insert at the end of external links (Node or Children). Will be inserted in a <span> element.

Useful for improving accessibility by giving users advanced warning when opening a new window.

`options.contentProperties`

Properties to add to the span wrapping content, when given.

Security

Improper use of rehype-external-links can open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.

Either do not combine this plugin with user content or use rehype-sanitize.
