Action intents

Example

Preview
defaultdisabled
<Action intent="action.back" onClick={backItem}>Back</Action>

Code that says back, previous points here. prongs check warns when an element with this intent has a handler or label that points somewhere else.

Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

  • If it is

    Use

  • Returns to the previous step of a flow without losing work

    action.back this page

  • Abandoning the flow

    action.cancel

Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

For registry authors

Starter intents. These are the intents prongs add puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own registry.ts: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with prongs add gallery.

What this intent is built from and its entry in components/prongs/registry.ts. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.
