# \<mc-navigation-link>

This component is used to generate a link to a site page from another component (e.g. site header). This tag is equivalent of **\<router-link>** tag of Vue router for Piston components.

This tag exposes three properties which we will understand in detail with the help of examples -

```html
<mc-navigation-link 
   title=""
   uriPrefix=""
   mapping="" 
/>
```

* **title** - This prop renders the label for the navigation link.
* **uriPrefix** - This prop represents the uri of the parent node relative to the url of a MechCloud site.
* **mapping** - This prop captures the mapping for this node.

Let's say you want to create a link to a first level site node with **Administration** as title and **administration** as mapping. You can generate a link to such a site node using following code -

```html
<mc-navigation-link
   title="Administration"
   uriPrefix=""
   mapping="administration" 
/>
```

If **Administration** node is having a child node with **Teams** as title and mapping as **teams** then you can create a link for same using following code -

```html
<mc-navigation-link
   title="Teams"
   uriPrefix="administration"
   mapping="teams" 
/>
```

If **Teams** node is having a child node with **Users** as title and mapping as **users** then you can create a link for same using following code -

```html
<mc-navigation-link
   title="Users"
   uriPrefix="administration/teams"
   mapping="users" 
/>
```
