|
|
A simple component to perform an Action.
|
|
|
|
<!-- END component-docs:@description -->
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whether that 'action' be visiting a web page, navigating to a section of a
|
|
|
|
Javascript application via the History API or dispatching a javascript
|
|
|
|
event/Ember action. It doesn't matter, just use `Action`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note: You should use this for all links/buttons throughout the UI.** (apart from
|
|
|
|
links that are part of i18n translations, you'll know which ones these are as
|
|
|
|
they are in translation files, not handlebars templates) Many components export
|
|
|
|
a slightly more configured Action contextual component which will be this
|
|
|
|
component with a few more HTML attributes applied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You don't need to worry/think about which native tag to use the component will
|
|
|
|
use the semantically correct tag depending on whether you give it a href
|
|
|
|
argument or not.

|
|
If you give the Action a `href` then that will navigate you to that hyperlink
|
2022-03-03 12:59:25 +00:00
|
|
|
reference (semantically this is the same as the HTML Anchor tag, and
|
|
|
|
semantically renders as one).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```hbs preview-template
|
|
|
|
<Action
|
|
|
|
@href={{href-to 'dc.services'}}
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
Click Me
|
|
|
|
</Action>
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't give the `Action` a `href` then the action you are performing will
|
|
|
|
not be navigation you to a hyperlink reference and instead performing the action
|
|
|
|
specified, generally using the `on` modifier (semantically this is the same as
|
|
|
|
a HTML button tag, and semantically renders as one).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```hbs preview-template
|
|
|
|
<Action
|
|
|
|
{{on 'click' (set this 'boolean' (not this.boolean))}}
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
Click Me: {{if this.boolean 'On' 'Off'}}
|
|
|
|
</Action>
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We currently have a handy shortcut to tag the Action as an `external` hyperlink
|
|
|
|
reference. The following will add the necessary attributes for you for an
|
|
|
|
`external` link so you don't have to. This is likely to be handled automatically
|
|
|
|
in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```hbs preview-template
|
|
|
|
<Action
|
|
|
|
@href="https://www.consul.io"
|
|
|
|
@external={{true}}
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
Click Me
|
|
|
|
</Action>
|
|
|
|
```
