Hyperlink

The component also support to create a hyperlink with type link, it allows text content to be highlighted and clickable. There are 2 ways to create a hyperlink.

• Using the built-in component by adding href as regular text link, disabled to set unclickable, and isExternalLink to indicate external links (open to new tab).

Live Editor

<>
  <Text type="link" href='https://www.google.com/'>Learn more</Text>
  <Text type="link" href='https://www.google.com/' isExternalLink>Learn more</Text>
  <Text type="link" href='https://www.google.com/' isExternalLink disabled>Learn more</Text>
</>

• Using external component such as <Link /> (react-router-dom) by adding as as ReactNode, and disabled to set unclickable (isExternalLink is not supported here).

import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';

function MyLinks() {
  return (
    <>
      <Text type='link' as={<Link to='/components'>Test</Link>} />
      <Text type='link' as={<Link to='/components'>Test</Link>} disabled />
    </>
  );
}
