Struct ExternalLink 

pub struct ExternalLink { /* private fields */ }

A link to another site. It always has rel="noopener noreferrer", so the other site learns neither the page it came from nor gets a handle on this window, and screen readers hear that it leaves the app.

let help = ExternalLink::new("https://example.com/help", Text::from("Help center")).new_tab();
let site = ExternalLink::new("https://example.org", Text::from("Website")).user_content();

.user_content() adds nofollow ugc for addresses users typed, so search engines do not credit them. .new_tab() opens it in a new tab and says so; it stays in the same tab unless set. Only https and http addresses become links; anything else, such as javascript:, is shown as plain text.

Implementations

impl ExternalLink

pub fn new(url: impl Into<String>, text: impl Into<Text>) -> Self

pub fn user_content(self) -> Self

Marks an address a user entered: adds nofollow ugc.

pub fn new_tab(self) -> Self

Opens the link in a new tab.

pub fn html(&self, r: &Render<'_>) -> String

Link markup, for use inside other components.

Trait Implementations

impl Component for ExternalLink

fn render(&self, out: &mut String, r: &Render<'_>)

fn schema(&self) -> Json

Schema used by MCP tools and test generation. Include a "type" key.

fn grid(&self) -> Option<&dyn GridSource>

fn form(&self) -> Option<&dyn FormSource>

fn reveal(&self, _field: &str) -> Option<Revealed>

The raw value of a masked field this component shows, for an audited reveal. The server checks the unmask permission before sending it.

fn import(&self) -> Option<&dyn ImportSource>

CSV import, for components that import rows (see crate::Import).

fn children(&self) -> &[Node]

Nodes held by a container. Child i of the node at path p has the path p.i.

fn eager_children(&self) -> &[Node]

Children rendered with the page. Others, such as closed lazy tabs, load when first shown.

fn source(&self, _key: &str) -> Option<&dyn DataSource>

Data the component fetches through an action, by key (a field name for lookups).

fn shortcuts(&self) -> Vec<&str>

Keyboard shortcuts of the component’s own links, as declared, for the clash checks of App::check and App::check_page.

impl From<ExternalLink> for Node

fn from(c: ExternalLink) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.
