Hash tags about pjuu HOT 5 CLOSED

Posts are moving to a more pre-processing method. Links, mentions and hashtags will all be parsed at the time you post and stored along side the post. This will mean looking for them only happens once, it will also allow users the ability to de-tag themselves and such in the future.

This is going to take a little work to get all of these processed before hand but at least will only happen the once. The front end will then be able to process the stored data for highlighting which we hope will be quicker as what it needs to highlight will be stored. In the future we could even store a copy of this in the database but caching it is also a good idea. If the post is changed in any way these can then be updated.

The new models for posts I am thinking is such:

{
  "_id": "<UUID>",
  "reply_to": "<UUID>",
  "user_id": "<UUID>",
  "username": "username",
  "created": 1427189599,
  "score": 0,
  "body": "Hello world!",
  "upload": "<filename>",
  "comment_count": 1,
  "links": [{
    "url": "pjuu.com",
    "span": [1, 9]
  }],
  "mentions": [{
    "user_id": "<UUID>",
    "username": "username",
    "span": [1, 9]
  }],
  "hashtags": [{
    "tag": "hashtag",
    "span": [1, 8]
  }]
}

This would never happen because there is multiple fields which would not appear at the same time (post vs. reply). Documenting this as an idea.

This is a harder problem that I first thought. The code in master is not much use as it can match a URL, mention or hashtag on the same string.

It going to have to work like Jinja2's urlize a bit more. Split the string on spaces then try and match each one to a regex. The first one it matches it will be treat as that.

This will require changing the regex's slightly but should work. I will push changes when I get it sorted.

This also isn't going to work that well. Will probably take some pointer from Twitter and the twitter-text repository. I have already refactored out the parsers in to the lib package. Will push when I get chance.

This feature is in but it needs some polish. It realistically should have been done as a PR but we now know for another time.

Related to #64.

Going to close as this will be fixed with that issue as parsing out hashtags is all that is left.
