Action intents

Example

Preview
defaultdisabled
<Action intent="action.open" href="/somewhere">Open</Action>

Code that says open, read, view, preview, original 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

  • Opens a piece of content to read or view it: an article title, "open original", a preview

    action.open this page

  • Going to another page of this site

    action.navigate

  • A link to read a piece of content

    rather than action.inspect
    action.open this page

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.
