Description

Anchor (Text Link)

The Anchor, also knows as Link is used to navigate from one page to the next HTML page.

import { Link, Anchor } from '@dnb/eufemia'
render(<Anchor href="/uilib/components/anchor">Accessible text</Anchor>)

NB: If you only use a vanilla HTML anchor element including target="_blank" then you have to ensure you add a title attribute that includes Opens a new Window or as a part of the text:

<a
  title="Opens a new Window"
  target="_blank"
  href="https://"
  class="dnb-anchor"
>
  text (opens in new window)
</a>

Customize blank target graphic

You may use a tool like this url-encoder to url-encode your SVG.

If you only want to change the colors, you can swap out fill='%23007272' with your custom color HEX code. Keep in mind that %23 stands for #.

To ensure compatibility for older Edge versions, you may still use base64. Use e.g. this base64 converter

.dnb-anchor::after {

}

You can also make the base64 conversion during runtime using btoa, e.g.:

const svgAsString = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(<YourSVG />)
const base64 = window.btoa(svgAsString)
AnchorElement.style = `background-image: url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,${base64})`


// ... or using Node:
Buffer.from(svgAsString, 'utf-8').toString('base64')
