[**remark**][remark] plugin to automatically add `target` and `rel` attributes
|
||
to external links.
|
||
|
||
## Note!
|
||
|
||
This plugin is ready for the new parser in remark
|
||
([`remarkjs/remark#536`](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark/pull/536)).
|
||
The current and previous versions of the plugin work with the current and
|
||
previous versions of remark.
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
[npm][]:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
npm install remark-external-links
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Use
|
||
|
||
Say we have the following file, `example.js`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
var remark = require('remark')
|
||
var html = require('remark-html')
|
||
var externalLinks = require('remark-external-links')
|
||
|
||
remark()
|
||
.use(externalLinks, {target: false, rel: ['nofollow']})
|
||
.use(html)
|
||
.process('[remark](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark)', function(err, file) {
|
||
if (err) throw err
|
||
console.log(String(file))
|
||
})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now, running `node example` yields:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<p><a href="https://github.com/remarkjs/remark" rel="nofollow">remark</a></p>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## API
|
||
|
||
### `remark().use(externalLinks[, 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 `target`s on links.
|
||
|
||
###### `options.rel`
|
||
|
||
[Link types][mdn-rel] to hint about the referenced documents (`Array.<string>`
|
||
or `string`, default: `['nofollow', 'noopener', 'noreferrer']`).
|
||
Pass `false` to not set `rel`s on links.
|
||
|
||
> When using a `target`, add [`noopener` and `noreferrer`][mdn-a] 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**][hast] content to insert at the end of external links
|
||
([**Node**][node] or [**Children**][children]).
|
||
Will be inserted in a `<span>` element.
|
||
|
||
Useful for improving accessibility by [giving users advanced warning when
|
||
opening a new window][g201].
|
||
|
||
###### `options.contentProperties`
|
||
|
||
[`Properties`][properties] to add to the `span` wrapping `content`, when
|
||
given.
|
||
|
||
## Security
|
||
|
||
`options.content` is used and injected into the tree when it’s given.
|
||
This could open you up to a [cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attack if you pass
|
||
user provided content in.
|
||
|
||
This may become a problem if the Markdown later transformed to
|
||
[**rehype**][rehype] ([**hast**][hast]) or opened in an unsafe Markdown viewer.
|
||
|
||
Most likely though, this plugin will instead protect you from exploitation of
|
||
the `window.opener` API.
