ButtonLink

The appearance of a button, with the semantics of a link.

Quick Start

Installation
npm install @adaptavant/eds-core
Import
import { ButtonLink } from '@adaptavant/eds-core';

Variants

ButtonLink accepts all variants as <Button /> we recommend using only following 6 variants

{/* accentPrimary */}
<ButtonLink variant="accentPrimary" href="#">
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

{/* neutralPrimary */}
<ButtonLink variant="neutralPrimary" href="#">
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

{/* accentSecondary */}
<ButtonLink variant="accentSecondary" href="#">
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

{/* neutralSecondary */}
<ButtonLink variant="neutralSecondary" href="#">
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

{/* neutralSecondaryIntense */}
<ButtonLink variant="neutralSecondaryIntense" href="#">
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

{/* neutralTertiary */}
<ButtonLink variant="neutralTertiary" href="#">
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

Icons

The ButtonLink has iconStart and iconEnd props to set icons.

{/* iconStart */}
<ButtonLink href="#" iconStart={AddIcon}>
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

{/* iconEnd */}
<ButtonLink href="#" iconEnd={AddIcon}>
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

Size

Customise the size of the ButtonLink via the size prop.

{/* small */}
<ButtonLink href="#" size="small">
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

{/* standard */}
<ButtonLink href="#" size="standard">
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

{/* large */}
<ButtonLink href="#" size="large">
  Click me!
</ButtonLink>

Adapting With Frameworks

ButtonLink is polymorphic and can render as different components using the as prop. This is particularly useful when integrating with framework-specific link components, like React Router or Next.js.

When you pass a component to the as prop, ButtonLink will render as that component and accept all of its props, as well as the component's usual props.

Using React Router's Link component

import { Link } from "react-router";

<ButtonLink as={Link} to="/settings">
    Settings
</ButtonLink>

Using Next.js Link component

import NextLink from 'next/link';

<ButtonLink as={NextLink} href="/settings">
    Settings
</ButtonLink>

This polymorphic behavior allows ButtonLink to maintain its styling and accessibility features while adapting to different routing systems or custom components.

Style API

Our design system components include style props that allow you to easily customize different parts of each component to match your design needs.
