Load plugin in .eleventy.js

const externalLinks = require("@aloskutov/eleventy-plugin-external-links");

module.exports = (eleventyConfig) => {
    eleventyConfig.addPlugin(externalLinks, {'url': 'https://your-domain'});
};

Default options

{
  url: '',
  selector: 'a',
  rel: ['noreferrer', 'nofollow', 'noopener', 'external'],
  target: '_blank',
  overwrite: true,
  excludedProtocols: [],
  doctype: '<!doctype html>',
  addDoctype: false,

Notes

The site address can be specified without a protocol, only the fully qualified domain name. For example, www.example.com or https://www.example.com or //www.example.com

Addresses with protocols other than http, https, ftp and ftps are excluded from processing and remain unchanged.

Examples

With default values, except url

const externalLinks = require('@aloskutov/eleventy-plugin-external-links');

module.exports = (eleventyConfig, options = {}) => {
// some code

    eleventyConfig.addPlugin(externalLinks, {url: "www.example.com"});

//some code
};

TODO

  • add excludedDomains. List of addresses that will be excluded from processing. These links will not be considered external and will remain unchanged.
  • add addDoctype. Optional doctype <!doctype html>
  • add doctype. Doctype string. Default: <!doctype html>
  • add ext. List of processed files, not only .html files. Default: .html
  • support IDN (Internationalized Domain Names)
  • add support for partial html code
  • further reduce the impact on the html source code

Changes

2.1.0

Added enableTarget option with default value true. If for some reason you need to disable the target attribute, set the enableTarget option to false.

This option does not break backwards compatibility.

v.2.0

  • Changed html parsing library from JSDOM to node-html-parser.
  • Increased speed of html code processing.
  • The addDoctype option is now, set to false.
  • The impact of the parsing library on the html code has been reduced. JSDOM forced wrapping in <html> if it was missing. It was not possible to work with code fragments (not wrapped in <html>).
