React How to make an <a> tag always treat the href value as an absolute path

Time:09-26

In React I'm trying to have an tag that that redirect the user to dynamically set value like this:

<a href={url} >{url}</a>

The problem is that the 'url' can have 'https' or not. for example if the value of url is : com.com then the application treat the 'url' value as relative and append the value to localhost : localhost:3000/path/com.com

How Can I make sure the value given to is treated like absolute value.

You can write a simple function that checks if the URL starts with "http/https", and if not just add it to the URL, something like that:
