shorten-repo-url
Shorten GitHub links like GitHub shortens Issues and Commit links. Used on refined-github
Look at the tests to see what each URL is shortened to. GitLab URLs are mostly compatible but they're not officially supported.
It works on any domain, so GitHub Enterprise is also supported.
Install
$ npm install shorten-repo-url
Usage
const shortenRepoUrl = require('shorten-repo-url');
const HTML = shortenRepoUrl(
'https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/v0.12/doc',
'https://github.com/nodejs/node' // same repo
);
//=> '<code>v0.12</code>' // repo-less URL
const HTML = shortenRepoUrl(
'https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/v0.12/doc',
'https://github.com' // not the same repo
);
//=> 'nodejs/node@<code>v0.12</code>' // URL with repo
API
shortenRepoUrl(url, currentUrl)
Returns the shortened URL in HTML as a string
like nodejs/node@<code>v0.12</code>
.
url
Type: string
The GitHub URL to shorten.
currentUrl
Type: string
, like location.href
The URL of the current page, to build relative URLs like <code>v0.12</code>
instead of the longer nodejs/node@<code>v0.12</code>
shortenRepoUrl.applyToLink(link, currentUrl)
Automatically shorten the link's text if the text matches the URL, i.e. <a href="https://github.com">https://github.com</a>
. If a data-original-href
attribute is present, it will be used when comparing the link’s text and when generating the shortened URL.
Note: this function will never change the href
of the link, it only changes the text.
It will return true
or false
depending on whether the link was shortened.
link
Type: Element
Example: shortenRepoUrl.applyToLink(document.querySelector(a))
currentUrl
Type: string
, like location.href
Same as before.
