Button: Cannot make button as link properly about primereact HOT 6 CLOSED

@melloware Do I understand correctly, that after this PR fix I can create a link with passed href to my <PrimeButton /> component?

from primereact.

I have to study the code and see what PrimeTek original intent of this and what PrimeVue is doing. But right now this code does not look like it is doing as it was intended.

What specific changes or enhancements are you aiming to make to the button component in your application, particularly in terms of its appearance and functionality? The showcase seems fine to me can you be more elaborate?

@galimovkirill i think this is just confusion over what you want to do and I just updated the docs. There are 3 scenarios.

Button Rendered As Link

This renders the buttons as Link and navigates you to https://react.dev on Click.

<Button label="Link" link onClick={() => window.open('https://react.dev', '_blank')} />

Link Rendered as Button

This is a normal HTML link that just is "styled" to look like a button

<a href="https://react.dev" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" className="p-button font-bold">
       Navigate
</a>

What you want is something more like this....

Button pretending to be a Link

This is a normal button with all the behaviors like "disabled" etc it just simply performs a navigation.

// open a new URL
<Button label="Open URL" link onClick={() => window.open('https://react.dev', '_blank')} />

// use NextJS Router to go to another URL
<Button label="Navigate In App" link onClick={() =>  router.push('/desired-url');} />
```

I think that current button implementation cannot provide functionality for my needs.
I meant that I need normal HTML link which looks like button without setting any additional classes.

You can see example at MUI's component: https://mui.com/material-ui/react-button/#text-button

The 3rd button is a link, but we render it with <Button/> component and can pass any prop like variant to change styling of button (which is link actually). So, just because we pass href prop, it decide itself that it should render specific HTML tag.

@galimovkirill yes the equivalent in PR.

MUI:

<Button href="#text-buttons">Link</Button>

PR:

<Button label="Open URL" link onClick={() => window.location.hash = "#text-buttons";} />
