Linkit

Linkit provides an enriched linking experience for internal and external linking with editors by using an autocomplete field. Linkit has by default support for nodes, users, taxonomy terms, files, comments and basic support for all types of entities that defines a canonical link template.

Installation

• Normal module installation procedure. See https://www.drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-8

• Enable Linkit To enable Linkit, go to /admin/config/content/formats and edit the desired text format you want to enable Linkit for. Linkit will alter the default link plugin, so make sure that it is enabled. When the default link plugin is enabled, you will have to select a Linkit profile to use in the "Drupal link" tab under the toolbar configuration.

• Enable Linkit filter Linkit will insert URLs in a format like "entity:node/1". The Linkit filter will then transform that URL into a "real" URL when rendering the text. Note: The Linkit filter must run before "Limit allowed HTML tags and correct faulty HTML".

• If the Limit allowed HTML tags and correct faulty HTML filter is enabled, add data-entity-type and data-entity-uuid to the <a> tag in the Allowed HTML tags (i.e. <a href data-entity-type data-entity-uuid>).

• (optional) Use automatic titles with the Linkit filter If automatic titles is enabled in the Linkit filter settings, and Limit allowed HTML tags and correct faulty HTML is enabled, add title to the <a> tag in the Allowed HTML tags (i.e. <a href data-entity-type data-entity-uuid title>).

Configuration

A default Linkit profile will have been installed as a step in the module installation process. The profile will contain information about which plugins to use.

You can create additional profiles at /admin/config/content/linkit.

Plugins examples

There are plugin implementation examples in the linkit_test module bundled with Linkit core.
