| 28 | +To create a basic alert link, wrap content in an `<AlertLink>` and provide navigation props. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +```jsx |
| 31 | +<AlertLink to="/settings">Go to Settings</AlertLink> |
| 32 | +``` |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### Alert Types |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +AlertLink supports all alert types: `info` (default), `success`, `warning`, `error`, and `muted`. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +<Storybook.Demo> |
| 39 | + <AlertLink.Container> |
| 40 | + <AlertLink type="info" to="/settings"> |
| 41 | + Info alert link |
| 42 | + </AlertLink> |
| 43 | + <AlertLink type="success" to="/settings"> |
| 44 | + Success alert link |
| 45 | + </AlertLink> |
| 46 | + <AlertLink type="warning" to="/settings"> |
| 47 | + Warning alert link |
| 48 | + </AlertLink> |
| 49 | + <AlertLink type="error" to="/settings"> |
| 50 | + Error alert link |
| 51 | + </AlertLink> |
| 52 | + <AlertLink type="muted" to="/settings"> |
| 53 | + Muted alert link |
| 54 | + </AlertLink> |
| 55 | + </AlertLink.Container> |
| 56 | +</Storybook.Demo> |
| 57 | +```jsx |
| 58 | +<AlertLink type="info" to="/settings"> |
| 59 | + Info alert link |
| 60 | +</AlertLink> |
| 61 | +<AlertLink type="success" to="/settings"> |
| 62 | + Success alert link |
| 63 | +</AlertLink> |
| 64 | +<AlertLink type="warning" to="/settings"> |
| 65 | + Warning alert link |
| 66 | +</AlertLink> |
| 67 | +<AlertLink type="error" to="/settings"> |
| 68 | + Error alert link |
| 69 | +</AlertLink> |
| 70 | +<AlertLink type="muted" to="/settings"> |
| 71 | + Muted alert link |
| 72 | +</AlertLink> |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +### Link Types |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +AlertLink supports three types of navigation: internal routing, external URLs, and custom click handlers. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +#### Internal Links |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +Use the `to` prop for internal navigation within the application. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +<Storybook.Demo> |
| 84 | + <AlertLink to="/settings">Go to Settings</AlertLink> |
| 85 | +</Storybook.Demo> |
| 86 | +```jsx |
| 87 | +<AlertLink to="/settings">Go to Settings</AlertLink> |
| 88 | +``` |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +#### External Links |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +Use the `href` prop for external URLs. The `openInNewTab` prop controls whether the link opens in a new tab. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +<Storybook.Demo> |
| 95 | + <AlertLink href="https://docs.sentry.io" openInNewTab> |
| 96 | + Read the Documentation |
| 97 | + </AlertLink> |
| 98 | +</Storybook.Demo> |
| 99 | +```jsx |
| 100 | +<AlertLink href="https://docs.sentry.io" openInNewTab> |
| 101 | + Read the Documentation |
| 102 | +</AlertLink> |
| 103 | +``` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +#### Custom Click Handlers |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +Use the `onClick` prop for custom actions that don't involve navigation. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +<Storybook.Demo> |
| 110 | + {/* eslint-disable-next-line no-alert */} |
| 111 | + <AlertLink onClick={() => alert('Custom action triggered!')}> |
| 112 | + Trigger Custom Action |
| 113 | + </AlertLink> |
| 114 | +</Storybook.Demo> |
| 115 | +```jsx |
| 116 | +<AlertLink onClick={() => alert('Custom action triggered!')}> |
| 117 | + Trigger Custom Action |
| 118 | +</AlertLink> |
| 119 | +``` |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +### Trailing Items |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +By default, AlertLink includes a right-pointing chevron icon. You can customize this with the `trailingItems` prop. |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +<Storybook.Demo> |
| 126 | + <AlertLink.Container> |
| 127 | + <AlertLink to="/settings">Default trailing chevron</AlertLink> |
| 128 | + <AlertLink to="/settings" trailingItems={<IconMail />}> |
| 129 | + Custom trailing icon |
| 130 | + </AlertLink> |
| 131 | + <AlertLink to="/settings" trailingItems={null}> |
| 132 | + No trailing items |
| 133 | + </AlertLink> |
| 134 | + </AlertLink.Container> |
| 135 | +</Storybook.Demo> |
| 136 | +```jsx |
| 137 | +<AlertLink to="/settings">Default trailing chevron</AlertLink> |
| 138 | +<AlertLink to="/settings" trailingItems={<IconMail />}> |
| 139 | + Custom trailing icon |
| 140 | +</AlertLink> |
| 141 | +<AlertLink to="/settings" trailingItems={null}> |
| 142 | + No trailing items |
| 143 | +</AlertLink> |
| 144 | +``` |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +### Container |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +When displaying multiple AlertLinks, use `AlertLink.Container` to manage consistent spacing. |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +<Storybook.Demo> |
| 151 | + <AlertLink.Container> |
| 152 | + <AlertLink type="info" to="/settings"> |
| 153 | + First alert link |
| 154 | + </AlertLink> |
| 155 | + <AlertLink type="warning" href="https://docs.sentry.io" openInNewTab> |
| 156 | + Second alert link |
| 157 | + </AlertLink> |
| 158 | + {/* eslint-disable-next-line no-alert */} |
| 159 | + <AlertLink type="success" onClick={() => alert('Third action!')}> |
| 160 | + Third alert link |
| 161 | + </AlertLink> |
| 162 | + </AlertLink.Container> |
| 163 | +</Storybook.Demo> |
| 164 | +```jsx |
| 165 | +<AlertLink.Container> |
| 166 | + <AlertLink type="info" to="/settings"> |
| 167 | + First alert link |
| 168 | + </AlertLink> |
| 169 | + <AlertLink type="warning" href="https://docs.sentry.io" openInNewTab> |
| 170 | + Second alert link |
| 171 | + </AlertLink> |
| 172 | + <AlertLink type="success" onClick={() => alert('Third action!')}> |
| 173 | + Third alert link |
| 174 | + </AlertLink> |
| 175 | +</AlertLink.Container> |
| 176 | +``` |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +### Accessibility |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +To meet WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, `<AlertLink>` automatically meets the [WCAG 2.1.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#keyboard) and [WCAG 2.4.7](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#focus-visible) success criteria. |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +Developers should ensure that their implementations follow the [WAI-ARIA Link Pattern](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/link/) and provide clear, descriptive link text that indicates the purpose and destination of the link. |
