Implementation

The component represents a link element contained by the sbb-menu component.

Slots

It is possible to provide a label via an unnamed slot; the component can optionally display a sbb-icon
at the component start using the iconName property or via custom content using the icon slot.

<sbb-menu-link href="#">Text</sbb-menu-link>

<sbb-menu-link href="#" icon-name="pie-small">Another text</sbb-menu-link>

Badge

A badge can be rendered on the icon as white text in a red circle via the sbb-badge attribute.
It's recommended to hide the badge when the menu link is disabled.
It's mandatory to provide the badge information for screen readers either with the accessibility-label attribute
or a hidden text (<sbb-screen-reader-only> for example).

<sbb-menu-link
  href="#"
  sbb-badge="2"
  accessibility-label="Show messages, 2 new messages available"
  icon-name="pie-small"
>
  Messages
</sbb-menu-link>

The component is internally rendered as a link,
accepting its associated properties (href, target, rel and download).

<sbb-menu-link href="#info" target="_blank">Link</sbb-menu-link>
