Install

Install by adding this package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter_linkify: ^6.0.0

It is highly recommend that you also add a dependency on url_launcher to open links in the browser/OS.

Usage

Basic:

import 'package:flutter_linkify/flutter_linkify.dart';

Linkify(
  onOpen: (link) => print("Clicked ${link.url}!"),
  text: "Made by https://cretezy.com",
);

Styling

Add a style to non-links (yellow) or links (red), and open in browser using url_launcher:

import 'package:flutter_linkify/flutter_linkify.dart';
import 'package:url_launcher/url_launcher.dart';

Linkify(
  onOpen: (link) async {
    if (!await launchUrl(Uri.parse(link.url))) {
      throw Exception('Could not launch ${link.url}');
    }
  },
  text: "Made by https://cretezy.com",
  style: TextStyle(color: Colors.yellow),
  linkStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.red),
);

All RichText options are available for use.

Linkify Options

By default, humanization (removal of http:// or https:// from the start of the URL) is enabled. You may disable it by passing options:

Linkify(
  text: "Made by https://cretezy.com",
  options: LinkifyOptions(humanize: false),
);

Selectable Text

Use the SelectableLinkify widget to create selectable text. All SelectableText options are available for use.

SelectableLinkify(
  text: "Made by https://cretezy.com\n\nMail: example@gmail.com",
);

Advance

In the onOpen callback, a LinkableElement is passed in. You can check if it is a UrlElement or EmailElement using is for custom handling.

You can enable parsing of only some link types using the linkifiers option. URL and email are enabled by default.
