Example

defaultdisabled

<Action intent="action.delete" onClick={deleteItem}>Delete</Action>

Code that says delete, destroy, erase 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

Closing or hiding something
action.dismiss
Stopping a task without deleting anything
action.cancel
Confirming a permanent removal

rather than action.remove
action.delete this page

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.
