Find URLs inside comments

[jacobdalamb]

I think a really neat feature to add would be the ability to read urls that are inside comments of files outside of just HTML and Markdown but CSS, JS/TS and many more.

Do you have an example?
This works at least:

❯❯❯ cat test.css
/* https://corrode.dev */
a {
  color: hotpink;
}
❯❯❯ lychee -vv test.css
✔ [200] https://corrode.dev/

My idea is that it would like lychee ./docs works with find links in html and markdown files but this approach works too. Does this work for other languages? I didn't find -vv in the command line options.

You can use globs:

lychee '**/*.css'

This would search for broken links in all CSS files in all subdirectories.

You can use multiple globs:

lychee '**/*.css' '**/*.html' '**/*.md' '**/*.ruby' 

A quick way to list all the searched inputs would be

lychee --dump-inputs '**/*.css' '**/*.html' '**/*.md' '**/*.ruby' 

You can find more info on glob patterns here.

The -vv is the same as -v -v, which means "extra verbose". It is a Unix convention.
