The properties don't work when in Semantic UI <Comments> about react-linkify

[steverecio]

Solution:

const componentDecorator = (href, text, key) => (
   <a href={href} key={key} target="_blank">
     {text}
   </a>
);

<Linkify componentDecorator={componentDecorator}>
   some user input http://github.com
</Linkify>

Thanks @steverecio, this solution saved the day! This is what I ended up with to get noopener and punycode going:

import punycode from "punycode";
...
const componentDecorator = (href, text, key) => (
   <a href={href} key={key} target="_blank" rel="noopener">
      {punycode.toASCII(text)}
  </a>
);
...
<Linkify componentDecorator={componentDecorator}>
   ...
</Linkify>

This bug was introduced in 1.0.0-alpha. Release 0.2.2 does not have this issue.

[steverecio]

anybody find a solution?

Seems properties doesn't work at all. Maybe it's missing to pass them to the default componentDecorator.

You can create a decorator like some of the other comments here have mentioned. If you want to open new tabs securely, especially if the links are leaving the site you control, I suggest implementing the following:

TypeScript supported CodeSandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/cool-montalcini-vkmtb?file=/src/App.tsx

npm install react-secure-link

...then...

import { SecureLink } from "react-secure-link"

<Linkify componentDecorator={(decoratedHref, decoratedText, key) => (
    <SecureLink href={decoratedHref} key={key}>{decoratedText}</SecureLink>
)}>
    Here is a link that will open securely in a new tab: www.github.com.
</Linkify>

@dbudwin is the gist here to add rel="noopener noreferrer" to the <a /> tags?

[dbudwin]

@steverecio yes, that's effectively what it does. Just abstracts away the "how" of creating a secure link in a new tab. Nothing fancy.
