As a user, I’d like the app to autolink as many possible URL formats I write in messages as possible, e.g. - [x] URLs without protocol: `github.com` - [x] URLs with in different languages (Unicode): - [x] `https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hans/信号` - [x] `https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Сигнал` - [x] URLs with single quotes: `https://www.example.com/this-couldn't-be-true` - [x] Messages with URLs right after special characters: `wink ;)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0` - [x] URLs with square brackets: `https://www.example.com/test.html?foo=bar&baz[qux]=quux` - [x] **Infrastructure:** Include TypeScript files in build. - [x] **Infrastructure:** Rename `ts/test` to `ts/styleguide`. - [x] **Infrastructure:** Decouple linting from testing. - [x] **Infrastructure:** Run all tests in CI. - [x] **Infrastructure:** Compile TypeScript on CI. ### Dependencies - Forked `link-text` to disable HTML escaping: It only has the minimum required dependencies: - `linkify-it`: Best-in-class link detection library with support for Unicode/IDN. Popular alternative: `linkifyjs`. Doesn’t handle Unicode in URLs. - ~~`escape-html`: Standalone dependency for escaping HTML.~~ - `uc.micro`: Standalone dependency of Unicode data files. ### Known Issues We don’t auto-link trailing exclamation points which in most cases would be expected to be part of the message body rather than the link. **Counterexample:** `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother!`. N.B. GitHub doesn’t do this right either. Fixes #598.
