Usage

Inject module into your application

<!-- As a directive, with twitter parsing -->
<div ng-bind="someModel" linkify="twitter"></div>

Inject as a AngularJS Service

// Injected into controller
angular.module('someModule').controller('SomeCtrl', function ($scope, linkify, $sce) {
  var text = "@scottcorgan and http://github.com";
  
  // Twitter
  // Must use $sce.trustAsHtml() as of Angular 1.2.x
  $scope.text = $sce.trustAsHtml(linkify.twitter(text));
  // outputs: <a href="https://twitter.com/scottcorgan" target="_blank">scottcorgan</a> and <a href="http://github.com" target="_blank">http://github.com</a>
  
  // Github
  // Must use $sce.trustAsHtml() as of Angular 1.2.x
  $scope.text = $sce.trustAsHtml(linkify.github(text));
  // outputs: <a href="https://github.com/scottcorgan" target="_blank">scottcorgan</a> and <a href="http://github.com" target="_blank">http://github.com</a>
