[javascript] How to get rid of underline for Link component of React Router?

I have the following:

How do I get rid of the blue underline? The code is below:

<Link to="first"><MenuItem style={{paddingLeft: 13, textDecoration: 'none'}}> Team 1 </MenuItem></Link>

The MenuItem component is from http://www.material-ui.com/#/components/menu

Any insight or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You can add style={{ textDecoration: 'none' }} in your Link component to remove the underline. You can also add more css in the style block e.g. style={{ textDecoration: 'none', color: 'white' }}.

<h1>
  <Link style={{ textDecoration: 'none', color: 'white' }} to="/getting-started">
    Get Started
  </Link>
</h1> 

To expand on @Grgur's answer, if you look in your inspector, you'll find that using Link components gives them the preset color value color: -webkit-link. You'll need to override this along with the textDecoration if you don't want it to look like a default hyperlink.

I think the best way to use react-router-dom Link in a MenuItem (and other MaterialUI component such as buttons) is to pass the Link in the "component" prop

<Menu>
   <MenuItem component={Link} to={'/first'}>Team 1</MenuItem>
   <MenuItem component={Link} to={'/second'}>Team 2</MenuItem>
</Menu>

you need to pass the route path in the 'to' prop of the "MenuItem" (which will be passed down to the Link component). In this way you don't need to add any style as it will use the MenuItem style

I see you're using inline styles. textDecoration: 'none' is used in child, where in fact it should be used inside <Link> as such:

<Link to="first" style={{ textDecoration: 'none' }}>
  <MenuItem style={{ paddingLeft: 13 }}>Team 1</MenuItem>
</Link>

<Link> will essentially return a standard <a> tag, which is why we apply textDecoration rule there.

I hope that helps

//CSS

.navigation_bar > ul > li {
      list-style: none;
      display: inline;
      margin: 2%;
    }

    .link {
      text-decoration: none;
    }

//JSX

 <div className="navigation_bar">
            <ul key="nav">
              <li>
                <Link className="link" to="/">
                  Home
                </Link>
              </li>
            </ul>
          </div>

For me it was not an option to use the graphical components of React Router. I prefer programmatically navigate using React Router.

React Router v5.1.0 with hooks

There is a new useHistory hook in React Router >5.1.0 if you are using React >16.8.0 and functional components.

import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";

function HomeButton() {
  const history = useHistory();

  function handleClick() {
    history.push("/home");
  }

  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={handleClick}>
      Go home
    </button>
  );
}

If someone is looking for material-ui's Link component. Just add the property underline and set it to none

<Link underline="none">...</Link>

Well you can simply use this piece of code in your scss file; This will remove that unwanted color change,

a:-webkit-any-link {
  &:hover {
    color: white;
  }
}

a:-webkit-any-link {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: inherit;
}

<Link to="/page">
    <Box sx={{ display: 'inline-block' }}>
        <PLink variant="primary">Page</PLink>
    </Box>
</Link>

In some cases when using another component inside the Gatsby <Link> component, adding a div with display: 'inline-block' around the inner component, prevents underlining (of 'Page' in the example).

There's also another way to properly remove the styling of the link. You have to give it style of textDecoration='inherit' and color='inherit' you can either add those as styling to the link tag like:

<Link style={{ color: 'inherit', textDecoration: 'inherit'}}>

or to make it more general just create a css class like:

.text-link {
    color: inherit;
    text-decoration: inherit;
}

And then just <Link className='text-link'>

Working for me, just add className="nav-link" and activeStyle{{textDecoration:'underline'}}

<NavLink className="nav-link" to="/" exact activeStyle= 
  {{textDecoration:'underline'}}>My Record</NavLink>

style={{ backgroundImage: "none" }}

Only this worked for me

I have resolve a problem maybe like your. I tried to inspect element in firefox. I will show you some results:

1. It is only the element I have inspect. The "Link" component will be convert to "a" tag, and "to" props will be convert to the "href" property:

2. And when I tick in :hov and option :hover and here is result:

As you see a:hover have text-decoration: underline. I only add to my css file:

a:hover {
 text-decoration: none;
}

and problem is resolved. But I also set text-decoration: none in some another classes (like you :D), that may be make some effects (I guess).

There is the nuclear approach which is in your App.css (or counterpart)

a{
  text-decoration: none;
}

which prevents underline for all <a> tags which is the root cause of this problem

I had a problem where the Link element was changing my h4 to 'underline', setting text-decoration: 'none' did not work, my only solution was to use a button instead.

<Link to="/settings">
    <button>Settings</button>
</Link>

If you are using styled-components, you could do something like this:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import styled from 'styled-components';


const StyledLink = styled(Link)`
    text-decoration: none;

    &:focus, &:hover, &:visited, &:link, &:active {
        text-decoration: none;
    }
`;

export default (props) => <StyledLink {...props} />;

What worked for me is this:

<Link to="/" style={{boxShadow: "none"}}>

Look here -> https://material-ui.com/guides/composition/#button.

This is the official material-ui guide. Maybe it'll be useful to you as it was for me.

However, in some cases, underline persists and you may want to use text-decoration: "none" for that. For a more cleaner approach, you can import and use makeStyles from material-ui/core.

import { makeStyles } from '@material-ui/core';

const useStyles = makeStyles(() => ({
    menu-btn: {
        textDecoration: 'none',
    },
}));

const classes = useStyles();

And then set className attribute to {classes.menu-btn} in your JSX code.
