Accessibility
Active state
IconButtonLink has an "active" state that visually identifies it. To set them to "active" set 'active="page"' (page redirect). Use routing hooks from React.Router or other frameworks to identify the current route. For example, if the current pathname matches the IconButtonLink href, set IconButtonLink to "page". Use the example below as a reference.
import React from 'react'; import { Flex, IconButtonLink } from 'gestalt'; export default function Example() { const reactRouterPath = '/iconbuttonlink'; return ( <Flex alignItems="center" height="100%" justifyContent="center" width="100%" > <IconButtonLink accessibilityLabel="Visit the Gestalt documentation" active={reactRouterPath === '/iconbuttonlink' ? 'page' : undefined} href="https://gestalt.pinterest.systems/web/iconbuttonlink#Active-item" icon="visit" onClick={({ event, dangerouslyDisableOnNavigation }) => { event.preventDefault(); dangerouslyDisableOnNavigation(); }} target="blank" /> </Flex> ); }
Localization
Be sure to localize all text strings. Note that localization can lengthen text by 20 to 30 percent.
IconButtonLink depends on DefaultLabelProvider for internal text strings. Localize the texts via DefaultLabelProvider. Learn more
import { DefaultLabelProvider, Flex, IconButtonLink } from 'gestalt'; export default function Example() { return ( <DefaultLabelProvider labels={{ Link: { accessibilityNewTabLabel: 'Öffnet eine neue Browser-Registerkarte.', accessibilityDownloadLabel: 'Es lädt eine Datei herunter.', }, }} > <Flex alignItems="center" height="100%" justifyContent="center" width="100%" > <IconButtonLink accessibilityLabel="" href="#" icon="visit" onClick={({ event, dangerouslyDisableOnNavigation }) => { event.preventDefault(); dangerouslyDisableOnNavigation(); }} target="blank" tooltip={{ text: 'Besuchen Sie Pinterest' }} /> </Flex> </DefaultLabelProvider> ); }

Focus ring on dark backgrounds
IconButtonLink can be used on dark backgrounds. The focus ring is visible on dark backgrounds to ensure accessibility.
import { Box, Flex, IconButtonLink } from 'gestalt'; export default function Example() { return ( <Flex gap={6}> <Flex direction="column" gap={6}> <Flex direction="column"> <Box alignItems="center" dangerouslySetInlineStyle={{ __style: { backgroundImage: 'url("https://i.ibb.co/rcdDzVh/image.png")', }, }} display="flex" height="100%" justifyContent="center" padding={8} > <IconButtonLink accessibilityLabel="Go to Pinterest" focusColor="lightBackground" href="www.pinterest.com" icon="visit" iconColor="red" tooltip={{ accessibilityLabel: 'Go to Pinterest', text: 'Go to Pinterest', idealDirection: 'up', }} /> </Box> focusColor="lightBackground" </Flex> <Flex direction="column"> <Box alignItems="center" dangerouslySetInlineStyle={{ __style: { backgroundImage: 'url("https://i.ibb.co/DC0sQrx/image.png")', }, }} display="flex" height="100%" justifyContent="center" padding={8} > <IconButtonLink accessibilityLabel="Go to Pinterest" focusColor="darkBackground" href="www.pinterest.com" icon="visit" iconColor="red" tooltip={{ accessibilityLabel: 'Go to Pinterest', text: 'Go to Pinterest', idealDirection: 'up', }} /> </Box> focusColor="darkBackground" </Flex> </Flex> <Flex direction="column" gap={6}> <Flex direction="column"> <Box alignItems="center" dangerouslySetInlineStyle={{ __style: { backgroundImage: 'url("https://i.ibb.co/rcdDzVh/image.png")', }, }} display="flex" height="100%" justifyContent="center" padding={8} > <IconButtonLink accessibilityLabel="Go to Pinterest" focusColor="lightBackground" href="www.pinterest.com" icon="visit" iconColor="red" tooltip={{ accessibilityLabel: 'Go to Pinterest', text: 'Go to Pinterest', idealDirection: 'up', }} /> </Box> focusColor="lightBackground" </Flex> <Flex direction="column"> <Box alignItems="center" dangerouslySetInlineStyle={{ __style: { backgroundImage: 'url("https://i.ibb.co/DC0sQrx/image.png")', }, }} display="flex" height="100%" justifyContent="center" padding={8} > <IconButtonLink accessibilityLabel="Go to Pinterest" focusColor="darkBackground" href="www.pinterest.com" icon="visit" iconColor="red" tooltip={{ accessibilityLabel: 'Go to Pinterest', text: 'Go to Pinterest', idealDirection: 'up', }} /> </Box> focusColor="darkBackground" </Flex> </Flex> </Flex> ); }
