react-external-link

React External Link

This library provides a simple ExternalLink component for react which can be used to render a tags with both target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer" attributes.

Installation

Using npm: npm istall react-external-link --save

Using yarn: yarn add react-external-link

Usage

If you just need a simple link with no custom text:

import React from 'react';
import { ExternalLink } from 'react-external-link';

const MyComponent = () => (
  <div>
    <ExternalLink href="https://example.com" />
  </div>
);

export default MyComponent;

This will be rendered as <a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://example.com</a>.

If you need to provide a custom content, you can do so by providing the ExternalLink's children:

import React from 'react';
import { ExternalLink } from 'react-external-link';

const MyComponent = () => (
  <div>
    <ExternalLink href="https://example.com">
      <span>Visit the site</span>
    <ExternalLink>
  </div>
);

export default MyComponent;

This will be rendered as:

<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
  <span>Visit the site</span>
</a>
