Target Blank Doesn't Work

[amcdnl]

When I do:

<Linkify properties={{ target: '_blank' }}>
   {description}
 </Linkify>

and description equals:

The JSON Query expression. Reference: http://docs.jsonata.org

it will render:

The JSON Query expression. Reference: <a href="http://docs.jsonata.org">http://docs.jsonata.org</a>

with version:

"react-linkify": "^1.0.0-alpha",

Seems like it was removed in this commit from what I can tell at a quick glance https://github.com/tasti/react-linkify/commit/95f86074dcddf55f903c6ee1b2ff71ea56c5f083#diff-3a7bfc073d2f2d2454177d75e2f4e231

As a workaround, you can do:

<Linkify
    componentDecorator={(decoratedHref, decoratedText, key) => (
        <a target="blank" href={decoratedHref} key={key}>
            {decoratedText}
        </a>
    )}
>

wow! works like a charm. Thank you @nwesthoff

Guess this library's dead right? Wanted to use it in production due it's size, bummer.

Seems like they have removed the support for the properties prop entirely and the only way around is using decorators as @nwesthoff suggested.

[nwesthoff]

Exactly @asp2809, that's actually how I figured out the workaround 👍

I used this. But still opening in the same tab itself.
`<Linkify componentDecorator={(decoratedHref, decoratedText, key) => ( {decoratedText} )}

`

I checked through the inspect element. The output is following: <a href="https://forms.gle/B8AfrGR4SE6WXd8o6">https://forms.gle/B8AfrGR4SE6WXd8o6</a>

Please help me out. I'm stuck here.

[nwesthoff]

Not sure if this is what you're running into but the Linkify component should either have a closing </Linkify> or add a / before the final > as such:

<Linkify componentDecorator={(decoratedHref, decoratedText, key) => (
    <a target="blank" href={decoratedHref} key={key}>
        {decoratedText}
    </a>)}
/>

If that doesn't help, please create a minimal reproduction on codesandbox and I might be able to help.

[theutkarshsoni]

@nwesthoff I didn't change anything but now it's working.

`<Linkify componentDecorator={(decoratedHref, decoratedText, key) => ( {decoratedText} )}

`

Thanks @nwesthoff

You can create a decorator like some of the other comments here have mentioned. If you want to open new tabs securely, especially if the links are leaving the site you control, I suggest implementing the following:

TypeScript supported CodeSandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/cool-montalcini-vkmtb?file=/src/App.tsx

npm install react-secure-link

...then...

import { SecureLink } from "react-secure-link"

<Linkify componentDecorator={(decoratedHref, decoratedText, key) => (
    <SecureLink href={decoratedHref} key={key}>{decoratedText}</SecureLink>
)}>
    Here is a link that will open securely in a new tab: www.github.com.
</Linkify>

nice. thank you @nwesthoff, as the docs still show the properties prop: http://tasti.github.io/react-linkify/

Thanks, this worked for me

Вы можете создать декоратор, как упоминалось в некоторых других комментариях. Если вы хотите безопасно открывать новые вкладки, особенно если ссылки уходят с контролируемого вами сайта, я предлагаю реализовать следующее:

CodeSandbox с поддержкой TypeScript: https://codesandbox.io/s/cool-montalcini-vkmtb?file=/src/App.tsx

npm install react-secure-link

...тогда...

import { SecureLink } from "react-secure-link"

<Linkify componentDecorator={(decoratedHref, decoratedText, key) => (
    <SecureLink href={decoratedHref} key={key}>{decoratedText}</SecureLink>
)}>
    Here is a link that will open securely in a new tab: www.github.com.
</Linkify>

I think we dont need install package for this goal, we can just add rel="noopener noreferrer". Just a thought

[pvbgsharma-wal]

<Linkify options={{target:'blank'}}> {data} </Linkify> this is helpful and working fine

[durgeshm01722]

In the current version i.e. "^1.0.0-alpha", the support for properties is removed. You can either do like this:

<Linkify
    componentDecorator={(decoratedHref, decoratedText, key) => (
        <a target="blank" href={decoratedHref} key={key}>
            {decoratedText}
        </a>
    )}
>

Else, downgrade to version "0.2.2". Worked for me!

I assume this should be closed. This worked fine for me on version 4.1.3: https://github.com/tasti/react-linkify/issues/96#issuecomment-1584437158
