RegX2Link

This is an extension for RocketChat. Its purpose is to automagically make specific text (matched by regular expressions) to links, similar to automatic Github Links. It supports multiple configurations.

Example

For example the following config:

github:
    link: "https://github.com/ceriath/regx2link/issues/%ISSUE%"
    searchPattern: "GH:[0-9]+"
    issuePattern: "[0-9]+"

makes the following message:

This is a text message to github issue GH:#20

to:

This is a text message to github issue [GH:20](https://github.com/ceriath/regx2link/issues/20)

which will then appear as:

This is a text message to github issue GH:20

Configuration

The Pattern Configuration is defined in yaml:

# turns "I:issue-1234" to a link to https://example.com/issues/issue-1234
example: 
    link: "https://example.com/issues/%ISSUE%"
    searchPattern: "I:[a-zA-Z]+-[0-9]+"
    issuePattern: "[a-zA-Z]+-[0-9]+"
# turns "GH:20" to a link to https://github.com/ceriath/regx2link/issues/20
github:
    link: "https://github.com/ceriath/regx2link/issues/%ISSUE%"
    searchPattern: "GH:[0-9]+"
    issuePattern: "[0-9]+"

name: can be anything.

link: is the link, with the %ISSUE% placeholder being replaced with the regular expression match to issuePattern

searchPattern: This pattern defines what part of a message should be made to a link. Can be the same as the actual issuePattern, but can include something else too. However, it must contain the issuePattern

issuePattern: This pattern will be matched on the contents matched to the searchPattern, this will be included in the actual link.
