`LinkButton`¶

Navigate with an anchor styled as a prominent button.


Import	`from hedron import LinkButton`
Distribution	`hedron`
Backend activity	No
Normal render mode	`RenderMode.FRAGMENT`

Live demo¶

NavigationCreate account →

A real anchor preserves browser navigation behavior.

The preview is a local docs simulation (not a running Hedron server). Interactive demos show a “Simulated HTMX” trace when applicable.

Basic use¶

from hedron import LinkButton

component = LinkButton('Create account', '/signup')

Compose under Page for full documents, or return from a fragment route for HTMX swaps.

How it works¶

Despite its appearance, LinkButton is an anchor and preserves open-in-new-tab, copy-link, and no-JavaScript navigation behavior.

This component's core behavior is server-rendered HTML and does not require a browser runtime. The preview is ordinary semantic HTML, so keyboard, form, link, and disclosure behavior comes from the platform.

Constructor and parameters¶

LinkButton(label, href)

Parameter	Type	Meaning
`label`	`str`	Visible navigation label.
`href`	`SafeUrl \| str`	Validated destination.

Composition and backend behavior¶

Keep LinkButton at the smallest semantic boundary. Fragment routes should return only the replaced region and preserve stable target IDs across success, validation, empty, loading, and error responses.

This component is primarily presentational; keep any mutation on an explicit action or component route.

Accessibility¶

The label should describe the destination and focus styling must remain visible in the chosen theme.

Security¶

Escaping and SafeUrl / TrustedHtml are framework concerns; authorization and data exposure remain application code. Redact secrets before rendering.

Common mistakes¶

Never use LinkButton to submit a form or mutate data.
Do not copy docs-preview JavaScript into an application server.

Testing¶

from hedron import RenderMode, render

result = render(component, mode=RenderMode.FRAGMENT)
assert result.html
assert not result.diagnostics
