I have the following code, I have some urls with markdown ("a" and "b") and others without ("c" and "d"), I have to make sure to turn them into an array of string url, as seen below.
How can I make some suggestions?
let a = "a [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/T._rex_infection.png/440px-T._rex_infection.png)!"
let b = "b [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/T._rex_infection.png/440px-T._rex_infection.png)! - [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Mosasaurus-Skelett.jpg/440px-Mosasaurus-Skelett.jpg)"
let c = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/T._rex_infection.png/440px-T._rex_infection.png"
let d = ["https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/T._rex_infection.png/440px-T._rex_infection.png", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Mosasaurus-Skelett.jpg/440px-Mosasaurus-Skelett.jpg"]
let e = "['https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/Tyrannosaurus_rex_Sue_at_FMNH.jpg/440px-Tyrannosaurus_rex_Sue_at_FMNH.jpg']"
let f = "['https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/Tyrannosaurus_rex_Sue_at_FMNH.jpg/440px-Tyrannosaurus_rex_Sue_at_FMNH.jpg','https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Mosasaurus_beaugei_34.JPG/440px-Mosasaurus_beaugei_34.JPG']"
const url = (text, autoMatch = false) => {
if (!autoMatch) return [text].flat();
if (autoMatch) {
const match = text.match(/\((.*)\)/);
console.log("*", match, ";")
if (match === null) return "";
return match[1] || "";
}
};
console.log(url(a, true))
console.log(url(b, true))
//console.log(url(c))
//console.log(url(d))
I think it can helps you:
const getLinksFromString = (text) => text.match(/https[^ '")]*/gi);
const getLinks = (data) => {
switch (typeof data) {
case 'string':
return getLinksFromString(data);
case 'object':
const links = [];
for (text of data) {
links.push(...getLinksFromString(text));
}
return links;
}
}
const data = "b [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/T._rex_infection.png/440px-T._rex_infection.png)! - [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Mosasaurus-Skelett.jpg/440px-Mosasaurus-Skelett.jpg)"
console.log(getLinks(data))
