# Link migration guide

Spectrum 2 delivers links as **native `<a href>` elements** with CSS — there is no `swc-link` custom element. Replace `<sp-link>` with semantic anchors and the styles documented below.

## Installation

```bash
# Remove
yarn remove @spectrum-web-components/link

# Add
yarn add @adobe/spectrum-wc
```

## Stylesheets

| Stylesheet | Import | Purpose |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `typography.css` | `@adobe/spectrum-wc/typography.css` | Default link appearance inside **`.swc-Typography--prose`** and **`.swc-Typography--links`** |
| `link.css` | `@adobe/spectrum-wc/link.css` | BEM modifier classes for standalone / secondary / quiet / static-color anchors |
| `global-link.css` (optional) | `@adobe/spectrum-wc/global-link.css` | Opt-in baseline for **bare** `<a>` without classes |

> Default in-body and link-list styling ships with **Typography** — see the [Typography migration guide](../typography/migration-guide.mdx) for prose and wrapper patterns. This guide covers explicit link modifiers and migrating from `sp-link`.

```js
// Prose / link lists (typography wrappers style unclassed anchors)
import '@adobe/spectrum-wc/typography.css';

// Explicit modifiers on individual anchors
import '@adobe/spectrum-wc/link.css';
```

## What changed

### Architecture

| Area | Spectrum 1 (`sp-link`) | Spectrum 2 |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Element | `<sp-link href="#">` shadow host | Native `<a href="#">` |
| Presentation | `variant`, `quiet`, `static-color` attributes | BEM classes on `<a>` (and typography wrappers) |
| In-body copy | Per-link custom element | `<a href>` inside `.swc-Typography--prose` |
| Link lists / footers | `sp-link` in lists | `<ul class="swc-Typography--links">` with `<a href>` |

### Attribute → class mapping

| `sp-link` attribute | Spectrum 2 |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| (default) | Unclassed `<a>` inside `.swc-Typography--prose` or `.swc-Typography--links`, or `class="swc-Link swc-Link--standalone"` |
| `variant="secondary"` | `class="swc-Link swc-Link--secondary"` |
| `quiet` | `class="swc-Link swc-Link--quiet swc-Link--standalone"` (section / footer contexts only) |
| `static-color="white"` | `class="swc-Link swc-Link--staticWhite"` |
| `static-color="black"` | `class="swc-Link swc-Link--staticBlack"` |
| `disabled` | **Not supported** on navigational links — use a disabled `<button>` or remove the control |

Behavioral attributes (`href`, `target`, `rel`, `download`, `referrerpolicy`, `aria-label`) remain standard HTML on `<a>`.

### Removed

| Removed | Replacement |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `<sp-link>` | `<a href>` + typography and/or `link.css` classes |
| `disabled` on links | Disabled button, or remove link |
| `inline` as author attribute | Links in prose inherit typography automatically |

## Update your code

### 1. Prose and running text

```html
<!-- Before -->
<p class="spectrum-Body">
Read the
<sp-link href="/docs">documentation</sp-link>
for details.
</p>

<!-- After -->
<div class="swc-Typography--prose">
<p>
Read the
<a href="/docs">documentation</a>
for details.
</p>
</div>
```

### 2. Link lists (footers, sidebars)

```html
<ul class="swc-Typography--links">
<li><a href="/privacy">Privacy</a></li>
<li><a href="/terms">Terms</a></li>
<li><a href="/help">Help</a></li>
</ul>
```

### 3. Standalone link with modifiers

```html
<a class="swc-Link swc-Link--standalone" href="/account">Account settings</a>
<a class="swc-Link swc-Link--secondary swc-Link--standalone" href="/learn-more">
Learn more
</a>
```

### 4. Quiet links in section context

Use quiet styling only where surrounding context makes links obvious (for example footers). Pair **`swc-Link--quiet`** with **`swc-Link--standalone`**:

```html
<footer>
<a class="swc-Link swc-Link--quiet swc-Link--standalone" href="/privacy">
Privacy
</a>
</footer>
```

## Accessibility

- Use real `<a href>` for navigation; avoid JavaScript-only fake links.
- Do not use `disabled` on anchors — it is not valid for navigational links.
- Icon-only links need an accessible name (`aria-label` or visible text).
- Restrict **quiet** styling to approved section patterns, not undifferentiated long-form body copy.

See [Semantic HTML and ARIA](../../.storybook/guides/accessibility-guides/semantic_html_aria.mdx) and the contributor [accessibility migration analysis](https://github.com/adobe/spectrum-web-components/blob/main/CONTRIBUTOR-DOCS/03_project-planning/03_components/link/accessibility-migration-analysis.md).

## Checklist

- [ ] Replace `<sp-link>` with `<a href>` in prose (`swc-Typography--prose`) and link lists (`swc-Typography--links`)
- [ ] Import `@adobe/spectrum-wc/typography.css` (and `link.css` when using BEM modifiers)
- [ ] Map `variant`, `quiet`, and `static-color` to BEM classes
- [ ] Remove `disabled` from links; use button + routing where needed
- [ ] Retest contrast for links adjacent to body text
