Approved

Link

Provide the governed NexWell Link contract for action interfaces.

Purpose

Provide the governed NexWell Link contract for action interfaces.

Source evidence informs purpose and anatomy; NexWell tokens, accessibility, and API are authoritative.

When to use

Use Link only for its documented action purpose.

When not to use

Do not restyle it into an unrelated interaction.

Anatomy

  1. container
  2. content

Specifications, variants, sizes, and states

Specifications

  • Exact dimensions, padding, gaps, icon sizes, radius, and typography: source-verification-required.
  • Implementation behavior is inspectable below; it is not evidence of founder approval.

Variants and sizes

default

source-verification-required: no governed component-specific size matrix is available

States

default · hover · active · visited · focus-visible

Measurements and typography

Every field is represented. A status is not a value: unresolved evidence cannot be converted into an implementation number.

Gapsource-verification-requiredNo approved exact value may be inferred.

Actual implementation states are listed below. Requested universal states not supported by the component API remain explicitly unclaimed.

React and TypeScript API

Public properties

approved-current Generated from the package registry; controls expose only the supported subset listed here.

import { Link } from "@nexwellaifactory/components";
// external
// native anchor props

export function Example() {
  return <Link />;
}

Usage and content

Do

Use the component for its documented purpose.

Don’t

Do not restyle it into an unrelated interaction.

Content rules

  • Use concise, task-specific labels.
  • Do not communicate state through color alone.
  • Allow localized text to wrap without hiding critical actions.

Accessibility, keyboard, responsive, and RTL

Accessibility

  • Native semantics first
  • Accessible name required
  • State exposed programmatically

Keyboard

  • Native element behavior
  • Visible focus indicator
  • No positive tabindex

Responsive and RTL

Wraps or scrolls without hiding critical content; supports 200% text expansion.

Uses logical layout; mirrors only spatial meaning.

Token mapping and source evidence

Traceable implementation

Uber-derived structural evidence, adapted through approved NexWell decisions.

Missing fields in the source remain documented source absence, not requirements invented by the implementation.

Evidence completeness

Cross-platform implementation

React / TypeScript: current package API is shown above.

Flutter: source-verification-required — no canonical Flutter API or implementation mapping exists, and this web portal does not infer one.

AI agents: consume approved records only; preserve proposed and unresolved statuses and import the public component instead of recreating it.
