Pending Link Demo

A client-side example that wraps a dashboard link with `Pending` and displays a loading state during simulated asynchronous navigation. The link label changes from “Go to Dashboard” to “Loading dashboard...” for two seconds after activation.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://diceui.com/r/radix-vega/pending-link-demo.json

Usage

usage.tsx
import { Pending } from "@/registry/bases/radix/components/pending";<Pending isPending={isPending}>  <a href="/dashboard">Go to Dashboard</a></Pending>
  • Use for navigation links that trigger client-side asynchronous transitions.
  • Use when a link should communicate that navigation or route data is still loading.
  • Use for demos or prototypes that need to simulate a pending navigation state.
  • Use alongside custom navigation handlers instead of allowing the browser to navigate immediately.

Examples

Dashboard navigation

Wrap a dashboard link and update its label while navigation is pending.

dashboard-navigation.tsx
import * as React from "react";import { Pending } from "@/registry/bases/radix/components/pending";export function DashboardLink() {  const [isPending, setIsPending] = React.useState(false);  return (    <Pending isPending={isPending}>      <a        href="/dashboard"        onClick={(event) => {          event.preventDefault();          setIsPending(true);        }}      >        {isPending ? "Loading dashboard..." : "Go to Dashboard"}      </a>    </Pending>  );}

Settings navigation

Use the same pending wrapper for a settings link.

settings-navigation.tsx
import { Pending } from "@/registry/bases/radix/components/pending";<Pending isPending={isSettingsPending}>  <a href="/settings">    {isSettingsPending ? "Loading settings..." : "Open Settings"}  </a></Pending>

Reports navigation

Show pending feedback for a reports route.

reports-navigation.tsx
import { Pending } from "@/registry/bases/radix/components/pending";<Pending isPending={isReportsPending}>  <a href="/reports">    {isReportsPending ? "Loading reports..." : "View Reports"}  </a></Pending>

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
childrenReact.ReactNode—The content rendered inside the pending wrapper, typically an anchor or other navigation element.
isPendingboolean—Controls whether the pending state is active. Set to `true` while the asynchronous navigation or operation is in progress.

Accessibility

  • Keep the child as a native anchor when it represents navigation so it remains keyboard focusable and exposes the correct link semantics.
  • The demo changes visible link text while pending, but it does not add an `aria-live` region; add an appropriately scoped live announcement if loading status must be announced to assistive technology.
  • Preventing the default anchor action means the click handler must eventually perform or hand off navigation; otherwise the link will not navigate.
  • If pending interaction should be blocked, ensure the wrapped content cannot be activated repeatedly during the pending state and provide equivalent keyboard behavior.
