Eleventy Plugin Safe External Links

Eleventy plugin ensuring that external links always contain rel="noopener", rel="noreferrer", which are potentially unsafe otherwise.

Installing

npm install @hirusi/eleventy-plugin-safe-external-links

This has only been tested with Eleventy 0.11.0 and would ideally be kept up to date with only future releases of Eleventy.

Usage

const pluginLocalRespimg = require('eleventy-plugin-safe-external-links');

module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPlugin('safe-external-links', {
      pattern: 'https{0,1}://', // RegExp pattern for external links
      noopener: true, // Whether to include noopener
      noreferrer: false, // Whether to include noreferrer
      files: [ // What output file extensions to work on
        '.html'
      ],
    },
  });
};

Differences from chromeos/static-site-scaffold-modules/modules/eleventy-plugin-safe-external-links

• This is not a mono-repo. Easier to manage and release updates.
• Ignores files where permalink is set to false.
• Fixes an issue where the plugin would empty everything but the body of the page content. (see issue with cheerio)
• Adds _blank target to external links, unless noopener is set to false.
• Adds _blank target to external links already carrying noopener rel (ignores noopener option)
• Updated tests.

Versioning

I intend to keep this up to date with the original repo as best as I can. The patch and minor fields from the source repo would be combined - 0.1.4 would change to 0.14.0. The patch field then would reflect my changes on top of it for that minor release - 0.14.1.
