Links

Using Next.js Link component for inline links in body fields.

To replace inline <a /> tags with the Next.js Link component, we can use an html parser like we did for images.

Dependencies

Install html-react-parser.

yarn add html-react-parser

Component

Update the component from images to handle inline links.

components/body.tsx

import { HTMLReactParserOptions, domToReact, Element } from "html-react-parser" 
import parse from "html-react-parser"
import Image from "next/image"
import Link from "next/link" 


const options: HTMLReactParserOptions = {
  replace: (domNode) => {
    if (domNode instanceof Element && domNode.name === "img") {
      const { src, alt, width, height } = domNode.attribs


      return (
        <Image
          src={`${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL}/${src}`}
          width={`${width}px`}
          height={`${height}px`}
          alt={alt}
          layout="intrinsic"
          objectFit="cover"
        />
      )
    }


    if (domNode.name === "a") {
      const { href, class: className } = domNode.attribs


      return (
        <Link href={href} passHref>
          <a className={className}>{domToReact(domNode.children)}</a>
        </Link>
      )
    }
  },
}


export function Body({ value }: { value: string }) {
  return <>{parse(value, options)}</>
}

Usage

pages/index.tsx

import { Body } from "components/body"


export default function Page({ node }) {
  return (
    <div variant="container">
      <h1>{node.title}</h1>
      <Body value={node.body.processed} /> 
    </div>
  )
}
