## Import

```tsx
import { LinkButton } from 'heroui-native';
```

## Anatomy

```tsx
<LinkButton>
  <LinkButton.Label>...</LinkButton.Label>
</LinkButton>
```

- **LinkButton**: Root pressable container. Renders a `Button` with the `ghost` variant and disabled highlight feedback enforced internally. These cannot be overridden by consumers.
- **LinkButton.Label**: Text content of the link button. Inherits size and variant styling from the parent context.

## Usage

### Basic Usage

The LinkButton component renders inline link-style text that responds to press events.

```tsx
<LinkButton onPress={handlePress}>Learn more</LinkButton>
```

### Sizes

Control the text size with the `size` prop.

```tsx
<LinkButton size="sm">
  Small
</LinkButton>

<LinkButton size="md">
  Medium
</LinkButton>

<LinkButton size="lg">
  Large
</LinkButton>
```

### Disabled State

Disable the link button to prevent interaction.

```tsx
<LinkButton isDisabled>Disabled link</LinkButton>
```

### Custom Styling

Apply custom styles using the `className` prop on both root and label.

```tsx
<LinkButton className="px-2">
  <LinkButton.Label className="text-accent underline">
    Styled link
  </LinkButton.Label>
</LinkButton>
```

### Inline with Text

Place link buttons inline alongside regular text for terms, policies, or contextual navigation.

```tsx
<View className="flex-row flex-wrap">
  <Text className="text-sm text-muted">I agree to the </Text>
  <LinkButton size="sm" onPress={handleTermsPress}>
    <LinkButton.Label className="text-accent">
      Terms of Service
    </LinkButton.Label>
  </LinkButton>
  <Text className="text-sm text-muted"> and </Text>
  <LinkButton size="sm" onPress={handlePrivacyPress}>
    <LinkButton.Label className="text-accent">Privacy Policy</LinkButton.Label>
  </LinkButton>
</View>
```

## Example

```tsx
import { Button, Checkbox, ControlField, LinkButton } from 'heroui-native';
import React from 'react';
import { Alert, View } from 'react-native';

export default function LinkButtonExample() {
  const [isAgreed, setIsAgreed] = React.useState(false);

  const handleTermsPress = () => Alert.alert('Terms', 'Navigate to Terms');
  const handlePrivacyPress = () =>
    Alert.alert('Privacy', 'Navigate to Privacy Policy');

  return (
    <View className="flex-1 px-5 items-center justify-center">
      <View className="w-full max-w-xs gap-6">
        <ControlField
          isSelected={isAgreed}
          onSelectedChange={setIsAgreed}
          className="items-start"
        >
          <ControlField.Indicator>
            <Checkbox className="mt-0.5" />
          </ControlField.Indicator>
          <View className="flex-row flex-wrap flex-1">
            <Text className="text-sm text-muted">I agree to the </Text>
            <LinkButton size="sm" onPress={handleTermsPress}>
              <LinkButton.Label className="text-accent">
                Terms of Service
              </LinkButton.Label>
            </LinkButton>
            <Text className="text-sm text-muted"> and </Text>
            <LinkButton size="sm" onPress={handlePrivacyPress}>
              <LinkButton.Label className="text-accent">
                Privacy Policy
              </LinkButton.Label>
            </LinkButton>
          </View>
        </ControlField>
        <Button isDisabled={!isAgreed}>Sign up</Button>
      </View>
    </View>
  );
}
```

## API Reference

### LinkButton

Extends all [Button](./button#button) props except `variant` (enforced as `ghost` internally).

**Behavioral overrides applied internally:**

| override    | value        | description                                         |
| ----------- | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `variant`   | `ghost`      | Always renders as a ghost button, cannot be changed |
| `highlight` | `false`      | Highlight feedback is disabled, cannot be changed   |
| `className` | `h-auto p-0` | Removes default button height and padding           |

### LinkButton.Label

Equivalent to [Button.Label](./button#buttonlabel). Accepts the same props.
