Detect URLs in text with JavaScript

Question

Does anyone have suggestions for detecting URLs in a set of strings?

arrayOfStrings.forEach(function(string){
  // detect URLs in strings and do something sw         


        

Answer 1

If you want to detect links with http:// OR without http:// OR ftp OR other possible cases like removing trailing punctuation at the end, take a look at this code.

A simple way to use that is to use NPM

npm install --save url-knife
