Package Overview

LinkWell is a Flutter plugin that automatically detects URLs and email addresses within text strings. When users tap on these links, they are opened directly in the device's default browser. Designed for rich text handling, it enhances user experience by making hyperlinks interactive without requiring manual parsing or custom gesture detectors. The plugin supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring consistent behavior across devices. It integrates seamlessly with Flutter’s Text widget, enabling developers to add clickable links with minimal setup.

Why I made this plugin

I was building a chat application and I needed to detect when users posted links and emails so I went online and found a couple plugin but then, only one fit the need, I imported it and discovered that it could not detect emails and long urls correctly and I could not name URLs or emails, So I built LinkWell. I hope this is what you are looking for and it solves your link problems.
