I'm doing a project in Craft 3, there are many types of links so I installed the LinkIt plugin. I'm facing problem with this because I didn't find a method to check link type.

If I use `{{ entry.linkItField.typeHandle }}` it returns the whole path (e.g. "fruitstudios\linkit\models\Url"), not just category, entry, URL etc.

Also, using `{{ entry.linkItField.url }}` only works on custom links.

Please have a look at the new docs for the plugin version for craft 3: <https://github.com/fruitstudios/craft-linkit/blob/master/README.md#using-linkit>

Instead of `{{ entry.linkItField.type }}` you should use `{{ entry.linkItField.typeHandle }}`
