I am working on a chat app in Ionicframework, i am sending and receiving the texts successfully via Sockets. There is one thing that is bugging me that:-
How can i find out if a message contains some external weblink e-g https://google.com etc...
I mean how other chat apps like Whatsapp filter out the external links in the messages.
I am not sure how to do that. I am thinking of following
Split out every word in the the message using space and then loop over every string to find out if starts with https:// or http://.
I am not sure if its the better way of doing it.
Please guide me how to do it or is there any NPM library that i may use?
Thanks in advance :)
