Tapping links in CKTextComponent? #74
Description
Any hint on how we should do to handle tap or long tap on text or URL in CKTextComponent?
I cannot set a delegate for UITextView, and cannot find anything similar in CKTextComponentView / CKTextComponentViewControlTracker?
What I currently doing is add a gesture recognizer and attach it to CKTextComponentView, and find the corresponding attributed text at user tap position. This work except I cannot get text highlighted as user click on the link.

CKTextComponentView is a subclass of UIControl so you can add target/actions for control events and use the text checking result API to grab the data you want, but you're right it's not super straight-forward how you would add link tapping. We use a convenience API internally that simply provides a selector to call with an action context object. I'll see if I can get that added to the open source version.

@siuying Great point. #83 allows you to use
CKComponentActionAttributefor this, since it will now include theUIEventand sending component. You'd do the following:CKTextComponentViewusingviewContextCKTextKitRenderertextCheckingResultAtPoint:on the renderer, passing the point fetched using[UIEvent -touchesForView:]to fetch the touches and then[UITouch -locationInView:]to get a location in theCKTextComponentView.This is pretty tedious. Internally we have a helper that wraps this up. If you wanted to add some built-in capability for this to
CKTextComponentthat would be fantastic.
