Links

For tag helpers that generate <a> elements, you can specify the same attributes as with a regular <a> element to generate the href attribute:

• asp-action
• asp-controller
• asp-area
• asp-page
• asp-page-handler
• asp-fragment
• asp-host
• asp-protocol
• asp-route
• asp-all-route-data
• asp-route-*

See the MVC documentation for more information.

The following tag helpers support generating the href attribute using these attributes:

• <govuk-back-link>
• <govuk-breadcrumbs-item>
• <govuk-button-link>
• <govuk-error-summary-item>
• <govuk-pagination-item>
• <govuk-pagination-next>
• <govuk-pagination-previous>
• <govuk-summary-list-row-action>

Example - MVC action

<govuk-back-link asp-controller="TheController" asp-action="TheAction" />

Example - Razor page

<govuk-back-link asp-page="ThePage" />

formaction

For <govuk-button> a similar set of asp- attributes listed above can be used to generate the formaction attribute:

• asp-action
• asp-controller
• asp-area
• asp-page
• asp-page-handler
• asp-fragment
• asp-route
• asp-all-route-data
• asp-route-*
