HTML::Pipeline::IssueReferences

An HTML::Pipeline filter for auto-linking GitHub issue references.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'html-pipeline-issue_references'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install html-pipeline-issue_references

Suppose you have some text that contains references to GitHub issues, like this:

Fixes rails/rails#123

This filter will automatically transform the GitHub-style issue references into a bonafide hyperlink to the actual issue. For example, this code:

require "html/pipeline"
require "html/pipeline/issue_references"

pipeline = HTML::Pipeline.new [
  HTML::Pipeline::IssueReferenceFilter
]

result = pipeline.call("Fixes rails/rails#123", {
  base_url: "https://github.com",
  repository: "foo/bar"
})

puts result[:output].to_html

will output this:

Fixes <a href='https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/123' class='issue-reference'>rails/rails#123</a>

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install.

To release a new version:

1. Update the version number in lib/html/pipeline/issue_references/version.rb
2. Run gem git tag -a <ver> -m 'some msg'
3. Run gem push --tags

Pushihg the git commits and tags will force CI to automatically push to RubyGems.org.

Before beginning testing, be sure to run bundle install && npm install Ruby unit tests can be run with bundle exec rake test.
