Demo

https://gkucmierz.github.io/social-links-app - Detect profile demo (v1.7.0)

Using

import { SocialLinks, TYPE_MOBILE } from 'social-links';
const socialLinks = new SocialLinks();

const link = 'http://www.linkedin.com/in/gkucmierz';
const profileName = socialLinks.detectProfile(link); // 'linkedin'

console.log(socialLinks.isValid(profileName, link)); // true
console.log(socialLinks.sanitize(profileName, link)); // 'https://linkedin.com/in/gkucmierz'
console.log(socialLinks.sanitize(profileName, link, TYPE_MOBILE)); // 'https://linkedin.com/mwlite/in/gkucmierz'

Above examples works based on predefined linkedin profile:

import { Profile } from 'social-links';
const linkedinProfile: Profile =
{ name: 'linkedin',
    matches: [
      {
        match: '(https?://)?(www.)?linkedin.com/in/({PROFILE_ID})', group: 3, type: TYPE_DESKTOP,
        pattern: 'https://linkedin.com/in/{PROFILE_ID}'
      },
      {
        match: '(https?://)?(www.)?linkedin.com/mwlite/in/({PROFILE_ID})', group: 3, type: TYPE_MOBILE,
        pattern: 'https://linkedin.com/mwlite/in/{PROFILE_ID}'
      },
      { match: '({PROFILE_ID})', group: 1 },
    ]
};
