Link

Use BootstrapVue's custom b-link component for generating a standard <a> link or RouterLink. BLink supports the disabled state and click event propagation.

By defaut links with no options will default to # location.

HTML
template
  <BLink>Link</BLink>

By specifying a value in the href prop, a standard link (<a>) element will be rendered. To generate a <router-link> instead, specify the route location via the to prop.

Router links support various additional props. Refer to the Router support reference section for details.

If your app is running under Nuxt.js, the <nuxt-link> component will be used instead of <router-link>. The <nuxt-link> component supports all the same features as <router-link> (as it is a wrapper component for <router-link>) and more.

HTML
template
<BLink href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
  External Link to Bootstrap
</BLink>

<BLink to="sample">
  To page sample
</BLink>

<BLink href="#comp-ref--props">
  Jump to Properties
</BLink>

External Links can be specified with the href prop.

HTML
template
<BLink class="btn btn-primary m-2" href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
  External Link to Bootstrap
</BLink>

<BLink class="btn btn-primary disabled m-2" href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
  Disabled Link
</BLink>

Change the alpha opacity of the link rgba() color value. Please be aware that changes to a color’s opacity can lead to links with insufficient contrast.

HTML
template
<p v-for="opacity in [10, 25, 50, 75, 100]" :key="opacity">
  <BLink :opacity="opacity"> {{ opacity }} link </BLink>
</p>

You can even change the opacity level on hover.

HTML
template
<p v-for="opacity in [10, 25, 50, 75, 100]" :key="opacity">
  <BLink :opacity-hover="opacity"> {{ opacity }} link </BLink>
</p>

Underline color

Change the underline’s color independent of the link text color.

HTML
template
<p
  v-for="color in [
    'primary',
    'secondary',
    'success',
    'danger',
    'warning',
    'info',
    'light',
    'dark',
  ]"
  :key="color"
>
  <BLink :underline-variant="color"> {{ color }} link </BLink>
</p>

Underline offset

Change the underline’s distance from your text. Offset is set in em units to automatically scale with the element’s current font-size.

HTML
template
<p v-for="offset in [1, 2, 3]" :key="offset">
  <BLink :underline-offset="offset"> {{ offset }} link </BLink>
</p>

Underline opacity

Change the underline’s opacity.

HTML
template
<p v-for="opacity in [0, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100]" :key="opacity">
  <BLink :underline-opacity="opacity"> {{ opacity }} link </BLink>
</p>

Hover variants

Just like the setting opacity has a matching opacity-hover prop, underline-offset and underline-opacity have matching underline-offset-hover and underline-opacity-hover props. Mix and match to create unique link styles.

HTML
template
<BLink
  :underline-offset="3"
  underline-opacity="25"
  underline-offset-hover="1"
  underline-opacity-hover="100"
>
  Mutliple variants
</BLink>

You can use the variant prop to colorize links. Some of the link styles use a relatively light foreground color, and should only be used on a dark background in order to have sufficient contrast.

HTML
template
<p
  v-for="color in [
    'primary',
    'secondary',
    'success',
    'danger',
    'warning',
    'info',
    'light',
    'dark',
  ]"
  :key="color"
>
  <BLink :variant="color"> {{ color }} link </BLink>
</p>

Disable link functionality by setting the disabled prop to true.

HTML
template
  <BLink href="#foo" disabled>Disabled Link</BLink>

Disabling a link will set the Bootstrap v5 .disabled class on the link as well as handles stopping event propagation, preventing the default action from occurring, and removing the link from the document tab sequence (tabindex="-1").

HTML
css
a.disabled {
  pointer-events: none;
}
