Does anyone have suggestions for detecting URLs in a set of strings?

There is existing npm package: url-regex, just install it with yarn add url-regex or npm install url-regex and use as following:

const urlRegex = require('url-regex');

const replaced = 'Find me at http://www.example.com and also at http://stackoverflow.com or at google.com'
  .replace(urlRegex({strict: false}), function(url) {
     return '<a href="' + url + '">' + url + '</a>';
  });
