External

If you pass the isExternal prop, the link will have the target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer" attributes.

Custom Anchor Icon

If you pass the isBlock prop, the link will be rendered as a block element with a hover effect.

Polymorphic Component

NextUI components expose a as prop that allows you to customize the React element type that is used to render the component.

Routing

The <Link> component works with frameworks and client side routers like Next.js and React Router. See the Routing guide to learn how to set this up.

import {Link} from "@nextui-org/react";
function App() { return (
<>
<Link href="/home">Home</Link>
<Link href="/about">About</Link>
</>
);
}
return (
<>
<Link href="/home">Home</Link>
<Link href="/about">About</Link>
</>
);
}

Custom Implementation

In case you need to customize the link even further, you can use the useLink hook to create your own implementation.
