var dataDetectorTypes: WKDataDetectorTypes { get set }

For example, the WKDataDetectorTypeLink type causes the apple.com portion of the text “Visit apple.com” to become a link to the Apple website. The default value of this property is WKDataDetectorTypeNone. For other possible values, see WKDataDetectorTypes.
