Link

The link component wraps its children and makes them clickable (web) or touchable (native) elements. There are two exported components:

Link - wraps any element, effectively making it clickable
TextLink - makes any inline text a link

How to use

import Link, { TextLink } from "@times-components/link";

// works with block elements
<Link url="https://thetimes.co.uk" onPress={doSomeNavigation(url)}>
  <View style={{ width: 100, height: 100, backgroundColor: "pink" }} />
</Link>

// and also with inline text
<TextLink url="https://thetimes.co.uk/" onPress={doSomeNavigation(url)}>
  The Times
</TextLink>

The web version of link also accepts a responsiveLinkStyles prop that allows the resulting <a> tag to be styled responsively.

Typically, apps will need to use the onPress callback to bubble up navigation so that the parent native Activity or UIViewContoller can handle the navigation, rather than multiple Activities or UIViewContollers mistakingly navigating multiple times in native land.
