NextJS Link isn't rendering an anchor tag

Viewed 2251

I'm using React + NextJS, and I'm trying to render a list of products, much like you'd see on a typical ecommerce category page. Each product is in a p, and that p should link to the appropriate detail page (so it should be surrounded by an anchor a tag).

Unfortunately, the links work but they don't render actual anchor tags. Can anyone explain what I'm missing?

Scenario A: a normal text link (works as expected)


input:

<Link href="wherever">word holmes</Link>

output:

<a href="wherever">word holmes</a>

Scenario B: linking a block of whatever


input:

<Link href="wherever">
    <p>word holmes</p>
</Link>

output:

<p>word holmes</p>

desired output:

<a href="wherever"><p>word holmes</p></a>
  • where'd the <a /> tag go??
  • mousing over the block does not get a pointer cursor, but clicking it does send you to the href target

Scenario C: adding my own a to the block of whatever


input:

<Link href="wherever">
    <a>
        <p>word holmes</p>
    </a>
</Link>

output:

<a href="wherever"><p>word holmes</p></a>
  • ok this works, but it feels hacky..
  • why does this work? Is this the "right" way to do it?
