Email adress in text to mailto hyperlink (possible in Twig?)
I have an entity with a text-type attribute called contactInfo. Users can only submit text without html when entering these details in a form. Often an email address is entered somewhere in this textarea (together with more details).
Now when I display this contactInfo I would like adjust any email address to an email address with a mailto hyperlink. For example
Email us at: example@email.com.
should become:
Email us at: <a href="mailto:example@email.com">example@email.com</a>.
How to go about this? Can I do this directly in Twig with some RegEx or Replace filter? Or should I really do this in the controller?

If I were you i'd adjust the input already before storing it in the database, otherwise u could do this by creating your own template class

You can create a twig filter, something like "mailTo"
and do something like
<?php
namespace AppTwig;
use TwigExtensionAbstractExtension;
use TwigTwigFilter;
class AppExtension extends AbstractExtension
{
public function getFilters()
{
return array(
new TwigFilter('mailTo', array($this, 'mailTo'), array('is_safe' => 'html')),
);
}
public function mailTo(string $text)
{
if(preg_match_all('/[p{L}0-9_.-]+@[0-9p{L}.-]+.[a-z.]{2,6}b/u',$text,$mails)){
foreach($mails[0]as $mail ){
$text = str_replace($mail,'<a href="mailto:'.$mail.'">'.$mail.'<a>',$text);
}
}
return $text;
}
}
And then use it like this in your template
contactInfo|mailTo
Either way, don't store "mailto:" or html tags in database when those are always gonna be the same...

But they don't need to ... that's not how twig filter works, he can add dynamically html tags and render it with raw filter
– Yoann Mir

OP's enduser would not know about any variables so he/she would be forced to type something likebla bla bla mail me at {{ 'info@example.com' | mailTo }}. Not very convenient

Well if OP strips all the html first before applyingrawthen yeah. You could also mark the filter as safe e.g.new TwigFilter('mailTo', array($this, 'mailTo'), array('is_safe' => 'html'));
