Example Tamagui Solito Text Link

TamaguiSolitoTextLink.tsx

import { forwardRef } from 'react';
import { LinkCore, LinkCoreProps } from 'solito/link';
import { AnchorProps, styled, Anchor } from 'tamagui';

const StyledTextLink = styled(Anchor, {
  name: 'TextLink',
});

export type TextLinkProps = Pick<LinkCoreProps, 'href' | 'target'> &
  AnchorProps;

export const TextLink = StyledTextLink.styleable(
  ({ children, href, target, ...restProps }, ref) => {
    return (
      <LinkCore
        Component={StyledTextLink}
        componentProps={restProps}
        href={href}
        ref={ref}
        target={target}
      >
        {children}
      </LinkCore>
    );
  }
);

@nandorojo Ah, I haven't updated this in a while, but this is what my text link looks like these days...

It's very similar to your version, except with a workaround for external links on web (the addition of extra wrapper elements by Tamagui breaks the default click handler from next.js's Link component)

const StyledTextLink = styled(Text, {
  name: 'TextLink',
  tag: 'a',
  accessibilityRole: 'link',
});

export const TextLink = StyledTextLink.styleable<
  Pick<LinkProps, 'href' | 'target'>
>(
  (
    { href, target, children, ...props },
    ref: Ref<HTMLAnchorElement>
  ) => {
    if (isWeb && isExternalUrl(href)) {
      // special case for external links on web - render it without LinkCore
      // tamagui _dsp-contents wrapper breaks next.js external link behavior
      return (
        <StyledTextLink
          href={href}
          ref={ref}
          target={target}
          {...componentProps}
        >
          {children}
        </StyledTextLink>
      );
    }

    return (
      <LinkCore
        Component={StyledTextLink}
        href={href}
        ref={ref}
        target={target}
        componentProps={componentProps}
      >
        {children}
      </LinkCore>
    );
  }
);

const isExternalUrl = (url: {}): url is string => {
  return (
    typeof url === 'string' &&
    (url.startsWith('http://') || url.startsWith('https://'))
  );
};

Cool! Good to know. Wondering about solito/image next

I've been using the solito image component raw with its default styles 🤐

For most styling, a wrapper view along with the fill + resizeMode props usually suffices.

Yeah agreed
