Badge with Link (Secondary) for React

A secondary badge rendered as a link that underlines on hover, for quiet tags and filters.

Framework
UI library

A clickable badge doesn't always need a bold color. This React badge renders a link in the Badge component's secondary variant, with hover:underline as the cue that it can be clicked. Use it for supporting navigation, secondary category links, tag clouds and filters that should be easy to find but shouldn't lead the page.

FAQ

What does variant secondary change on the link?

variant="secondary" keeps the muted secondary fill and secondary-foreground text on the link. The variant adds a hover background when the badge is an anchor, and this file adds hover:underline.

Can I reach the link from the keyboard?

Yes. It is an a with an href, so Tab focuses it and Enter follows it. Screen readers announce a link.

Should a toggle filter be this badge?

No. This pattern goes to another page. An on and off filter is a Button or a toggle.

Why doesn't the link text wrap?

The badge is whitespace-nowrap, so the label stays one line. Keep it to a word or two.

Can this link use another variant?

Yes. Set variant on the same Badge. The values are default, secondary, outline, ghost, link, destructive, info, success and warning.
