# Link

A SwiftUI Link component for displaying clickable links.
iOS, tvOS, Included in Expo Go

Expo UI Link matches the official SwiftUI [Link API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/link).

## Installation

```sh
# npm
npx expo install @expo/ui

# yarn
yarn expo install @expo/ui

# pnpm
pnpm expo install @expo/ui

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview.md), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules.md) in your project.

## Usage

```tsx
import { Host, Link } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <Link label="Visit Expo" destination="https://expo.dev" />
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Custom label content

You can pass custom components as `children` for more complex link label content.

```tsx
import { Host, Link, VStack, Image, Text } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function CustomContentExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Link destination="https://expo.dev">
        <VStack spacing={4}>
          <Image systemName="link" />
          <Text>Expo</Text>
        </VStack>
      </Link>
    </Host>
  );
}
```
