The regular expression comes from upstream and I think this is expected. There are times when links end with .
(e.g. https://www.google.com.
). Let alone it could end with other marks like !
:
. Better practice is to add a space after the link 😀
Better practice is to add a space after the link
I don't think this is actually an argument. If it's just your code or my code, we can discuss this, sure. But we're talking about 3rd-party code on all historical commits on GitHub - can't go around asking people to rewrite their old commits.
Would be interesting to hear more real-world examples for links with punctuation at the end. I'm guessing there aren't many.
I think it's about what would happen more in real-world situations - links with punctuation at the end (which happen... almost never?) or instances of people adding punctuation at the end of links. I would guess there are tons of instances of the second case. So the tradeoff would be to break the URLs in the almost-never case of links with punctuation at the end in order to fix something that happens a lot.

I guess I would probably not suggest PRing this to upstream, since that module does its job nicely and does not have the constraints that refined-github
does. I would suggest putting in additional manipulation after the transformation from the upstream module to fix this issue.
cc @sindresorhus because ownership of upstream.
I asked @sindresorhus to move this issue there. It won't be fixed here, especially because technically we're still waiting for Firefox to update to linkify-urls@3

Ok, if it should be an issue on upstream, then maybe there would be a way it could make sense - a default-off option like stripTrailingPunctuation
, for example.
sindresorhus/refined-github#381 introduced adding links to URLs in code, which is a really cool feature!
However, it doesn't follow the same rules as Markdown in Markdown code, such as the case where a link has a period at the end (the link on https://github.com/palmerhq/tsdx/pull/138/files goes to
https://github.com/alexreardon/tiny-invariant.
, with the period):I can think of two ways to deal with this off the top of my head (maybe there's a better / easier alternative):
