Making links in the text of a div clickable

Question

I'm trying to make URLs in a text clickable using Nuxt/Vue.

The input text is: Learning Outside the Box - https://learningoutsidethebox.com

I have a method that converts it to a link:

setLinks(text) {
            var Rexp = /(\b(https?|ftp|file):\/\/([-A-Z0-9+&@#%?=~_|!:,.;]*)([-A-Z0-9+&@#%?\/=~_|!:,.;]*)[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])/ig;
              
            return text.replace(Rexp, "<NuxtLink to='$1' target='_blank'>$1</NuxtLink>");
}

After that I get a result: Learning Outside the Box - <NuxtLink to='https://learningoutsidethebox.com' target='_blank'>https://learningoutsidethebox.com</NuxtLink> . But it is still not clickable.

Changing to didn't solve the problem.

Could you please clarify, what should I do to make this text become a working link?

You can try with a tag and v-html :

 new Vue({ el: '#demo', data() { return { url: 'Learning Outside the Box - https://learningoutsidethebox.com' } }, computed: { getLink() { return this.setLinks(this.url) } }, methods: { setLinks(text) { const Rexp = /(\\b(https?|ftp|file):\\/\\/([-A-Z0-9+&@#%?=~_|!:,.;]*)([-A-Z0-9+&@#%?\\/=~_|!:,.;]*)[-A-Z0-9+&@#\\/%=~_|])/ig; return text.replace(Rexp, "<a href='$1' target='_blank'>$1</a>"); } } }) Vue.config.productionTip = false Vue.config.devtools = false
