Quick example

// Your typical 'component'
const Card = () => <p>Here goes my card contents with #static text inside</p>;

// Will become
import ReactHashtag from "react-hashtag";

const Card = () => (
  <p>
    <ReactHashtag>
      Here goes my card contents with #static text inside
    </ReactHashtag>
  </p>
);

Install

The usual flow

npm install @mdnm/react-hashtag --save

Api

The component ReactHashtag is actually pretty generic. Is not something that someone can't do in half an hour. But, this one has some generic API that could make you turn.

Examples

Custom renderer

const Card = (props) => (
  <p>
    <ReactHashtag
      renderHashtag={(hashtagValue) => (
        <div className="hashtag">{hashtagValue}</div>
      )}
    >
      {props.children}
    </ReactHashtag>
  </p>
);

With styled components

const Hashtag = styled.span`
  color: tomato;
`;

const Card = (props) => (
  <p>
    <ReactHashtag
      renderHashtag={(hashtagValue) => <Hashtag>{hashtagValue}</Hashtag>}
    >
      {props.children}
    </ReactHashtag>
  </p>
);

Reusable or composition

You could reuse the same definition, if that's something you're looking for. The following example uses the anchor and defines a component that will redirect to certain hashtag pages.

const StyledHashtag = styled.a`
  color: tomato;
`;

/**
 * Custom component to render the hashtags with a custom renderer
 */
const Hashtags = (props) => (
  <ReactHashtag
    renderHashtag={(hashtagValue) => (
      <StyledHashtag href={`/search/${hashtagValue}`}>
        {hashtagValue}
      </StyledHashtag>
    )}
  >
    {props.children}
  </ReactHashtag>
);

const Card = (props) => (
  <p>
    <Hashtags>{props.children}</Hashtags>
  </p>
);
