See IconButton for usage guidelines.

Localization

Be sure to localize all text strings. Note that localization can lengthen text by 20 to 30 percent.

IconButtonLink depends on DefaultLabelProvider for internal text strings. Localize the texts via DefaultLabelProvider. Learn more
import { DefaultLabelProvider, Flex, IconButtonLink } from 'gestalt';

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <DefaultLabelProvider
      // $FlowExpectedError[incompatible-type] For demostration purposes
      labels={{
        Link: {
          accessibilityNewTabLabel: 'Öffnet eine neue Browser-Registerkarte.',
        },
      }}
    >
      <Flex
        width="100%"
        height="100%"
        justifyContent="center"
        alignItems="center"
      >

          icon="visit"
