Link

A link allows a user to navigate to a different location.

Anatomy

Composed Components

A Link uses the following components:

Usage

Disabled

Links can be disabled.

External

An external text link will render by default with rel="noopener noreferrer" and target="_blank" attributes.

No Href

When a <Link> does not have an href prop, it is rendered as a <span role="link"> instead of an <a>. Events will need to be handled in JavaScript with the onPress prop.

Note: this will not behave like a native link. Browser features like context menus and open in a new tab will not apply.

Variants

Links can be presented in different variants.

Sizes

Links can be presented in different sizes.

Inherit Size

The size can also be inherited.

Icon

Links can contain an icon.

Start Icon

Non standard start icons can be provided to handle special cases. However, think twice before adding start icons, end icons should be your go to.

Icon Only

A link's content can be a single icon. When using this variant, an accessible name must be provided through the aria-label prop. See WCAG practices.

Quiet

All links can have a quiet style, without an underline. This style should only be used when the placement and context of the link is explicit enough that a visible underline isnโ€™t necessary.

Standalone

All links can have a standalone style, without an underline which is similar to quiet, the difference is this adds block padding to make it more similar to a button.

A button can be rendered as a react router link when using the href property and setting the navigate property on the HopperProvider

Custom Styles

When the colors from the variant props are not enough, you can use the color prop to set the color of the link. This removes the hover and focus colors from the link. Use the color props when a link needs to be placed on top of a colored background or visual. Make sure that the background and the link color meet the minimum color contrast ratio.

Image

A link's content can be an image element.
