Anchor

Display link with theme styles

Import

Usage

import { Anchor } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <Anchor href="https://mantine.dev/" target="_blank">
      Anchor component
    </Anchor>
  );
}

Underline

Use underline prop to configure text-decoration property. It accepts the following values:

  • always - link is always underlined
  • hover - link is underlined on hover
  • never - link is never underlined
import { Anchor, Group } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <Group justify="center">
      <Anchor href="https://mantine.dev/" target="_blank" underline="always">
        Underline always
      </Anchor>
      <Anchor href="https://mantine.dev/" target="_blank" underline="hover">
        Underline hover
      </Anchor>
      <Anchor href="https://mantine.dev/" target="_blank" underline="never">
        Underline never
      </Anchor>
    </Group>
  );
}

You can also configure underline prop for all Anchor components with default props:

import { Anchor, createTheme, MantineProvider } from '@mantine/core';

const theme = createTheme({
  components: {
    Anchor: Anchor.extend({
      defaultProps: {
        underline: 'always',
      },
    }),
  },
});

function Demo() {
  return (
    <MantineProvider theme={theme}>
      {/* Your app here */}
    </MantineProvider>
  );
}

Text props

Anchor components supports all Text component props. For example, you can use gradient variant:

import { Anchor } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <Anchor
      variant="gradient"
      gradient={{ from: 'pink', to: 'yellow' }}
      fw={500}
      fz="lg"
      href="#text-props"
    >
      A link with pink to yellow gradient
    </Anchor>
  );
}

Polymorphic component

Anchor is a polymorphic component – its default root element is a, but it can be changed to any other element or component with component prop:

import { Anchor } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return <Anchor component="button" />;
}

You can also use components in component prop, for example, Next.js Link:

import Link from 'next/link';
import { Anchor } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return <Anchor component={Link} href="/" />;
}

Polymorphic components with TypeScript

Note that polymorphic components props types are different from regular components – they do not extend HTML element props of the default element. For example, AnchorProps does not extend React.ComponentPropsWithoutRef'<'div'>' although a is the default element.

If you want to create a wrapper for a polymorphic component that is not polymorphic (does not support component prop), then your component props interface should extend HTML element props, for example:

import type { AnchorProps, ElementProps } from '@mantine/core';

interface MyAnchorProps extends AnchorProps,
  ElementProps<'button', keyof AnchorProps> {}

If you want your component to remain polymorphic after wrapping, use createPolymorphicComponent function described in this guide.

Get element ref

import { useRef } from 'react';
import { Anchor } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  const ref = useRef<HTMLAnchorElement>(null);
  return <Anchor ref={ref} />;
}
