react-obfuscate

An intelligent React component to obfuscate any contact link!

View Documentation

How it works

The user passes the contact link as an email, tel, sms, or facetime prop. The component obfuscates href data until an onClick event. Links are given their proper URL schemes (mailto, facetime, etc.) The link is rendered in reverse in the dom, but reversed again with css. This making the link useless for spammers, but user friendly on screen.

Why

The world needs obfuscated links that display the link in a friendly way.

Installation

npm install --save react-obfuscate

Input

import React from 'react'
import Obfuscate from 'react-obfuscate'

export default () => (
  <p>
    Phone: <Obfuscate tel="205-454-1234" />
    <br />
    Email:{' '}
    <Obfuscate
      email="[email protected]"
      headers={{
        subject: 'Question from the website',
        cc: '[email protected]',
      }}
    />
  </p>
)
