rh-cta

A call to action is a styled link that entices users to make a selection.

Slots 1
Slot Name Description
undefined

The default slot contains the link text when the href attribute is set. In case there is no href attribute, an anchor tag (<a href="...">) should be the first child inside rh-cta element. Less preferred but allowed for specific use-cases include: <button> (note however that the button tag is not supported for the default CTA styles).
Attributes 8
Attribute DOM Property Description Type Default
variant variant

Indicates the importance of this call-to-action in the context of the page. Will also influence how the call-to-action is styled.

  • Primary: Use for the primary or most important link. This variant is the highest in hierarchy and can also be used to play a video in a Modal or large container.
  • Secondary: Use for secondary or general links. This variant is lower in hierarchy than the Primary variant and can be used multiple times in the same container or layout.
  • Brick: Use to group links together. Only the Brick variant can stretch to fit a container or grid, otherwise the text label padding in other variants stays the same.
  • Default (no variant): Use for tertiary or the least important links. This variant is the lowest in hierarchy and can be used multiple times in the same container or layout.
