What are Bootstrap Stretched link?
Make any HTML element or MDB component clickable by “stretching” a nested link via CSS.
Installation
Manual installation (zip package)
To take advantage of our Bootstrap images component and use them in your project, you first need to install the MDB 5 Free package
MDB CLI
Watch our Quick Start Tutorial to discover and use the full potential of MDB 5 and MDB CLI
NPM
Prerequisites
Before starting the project make sure to install Node LTS (12.x.x recommended).
Installation
To install MDB UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal:
npm i mdb-ui-kit
Importing JS modules
You can import the entire library or just individual modules:
import * as mdb from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // lib
import { Input } from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // module
Importing CSS file
To import MDB stylesheet please use the following syntax:
@import '~mdb-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css';
Importing SCSS modules
You can also import individual SCSS modules. To do it properly, we recommend to copy them from the node_modules/mdb-ui-kit/src/scss location directly to your project and import in the same way as CSS files.
Webpack integration
You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our Starter.
CDN
Installation via CDN is one of the easiest methods of integrating MDB UI KIT with your project. Just copy the latest compiled JS script tag and CSS link tag from cdnjs to the application.
Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need. Here's an example code:
CSS
<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<link
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
JS
<!-- MDB -->
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>
Customization
Basic example
Add .stretched-link
to a link to make its containing block clickable via a ::after
pseudo element. In most cases, this means that an element with position: relative;
that contains a link with the .stretched-link
class is clickable.
Cards have position: relative
by default in Bootstrap, so in this case you can safely add the .stretched-link
class to a link in the card without any other HTML changes.
Multiple links and tap targets are not recommended with stretched links. However, some position
and z-index
styles can help should this be required.
HTML
<div class="card">
<img
src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/new/standard/city/041.jpg"
class="card-img-top"
alt="..."
/>
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">Card with stretched link</h5>
<p class="card-text">
Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the
card's content.
</p>
<a href="#!" class="btn btn-primary stretched-link">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div>
