import { Story, Canvas, ArgsTable } from '@storybook/addon-docs'; import { ButtonLink } from './button-link'; import { ButtonBase } from '../button-base'; # ButtonLink The `ButtonLink` is an extension of `ButtonBase` to support link styles ## Props The `ButtonLink` accepts all props below as well as all [Box](/docs/components-ui-box--default-story#props) and [ButtonBase](/docs/components-componentlibrary-buttonbase--default-story#props) component props The `ButtonLink` accepts all [ButtonBase](/docs/components-componentlibrary-buttonbase--default-story#props) component props ### Size Use the `size` prop and the `Size` object from `./ui/helpers/constants/design-system.js` to change the size of `ButtonLink`. Defaults to `Size.auto`. Optional: `BUTTON_LINK_SIZES` from `../../component-library` object can be used instead of `Size` Possible sizes include: - `Size.auto` sets the height to auto but retains `ButtonLink` font-size - `Size.SM` 32px - `Size.MD` 40px - `Size.LG` 48px - `Size.inherit` inherits the font-size of the parent element. Used for inline links in paragraphs. ```jsx import { Size } from '../../../helpers/constants/design-system'; import { ButtonLink, Text, TextVariant } from '../../component-library'; Auto (default) Small Medium Large Inherits the font-size of the parent element. Learn more Inherits the font-size of the parent element. Learn more Inherits the font-size of the parent element. Learn more Inherits the font-size of the parent element and example with override for a success color.

It disables the window.opener property and prevents the new page from sending the referrer information, providing an additional layer of security. ```jsx import { ButtonLink } from '../../component-library'; Anchor element with external link ; ``` ### Hit area The default hit area for `ButtonLink` is the width of the text and height based on the `size` prop which is set to `Size.auto` by default. There may be times when you want to increase the hit area of the `ButtonLink`. To do this you can use the `Box` props `paddingLeft` and `paddingRight`. Or alternatively you can use the `block` prop which sets the width to 100%. ```jsx import { ButtonLink } from '../../component-library'; Auto (default) Small Medium Large Large block ```
