Overview
<x-aura::mail-attachment> is the small paperclip chip under a message. A link when the file can
be opened, plain text when it cannot — never a link that goes nowhere, which is announced as a
link and then disappoints.
Basic Usage
<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
<x-aura::mail-attachment name="invoice-2026-0042.pdf" href="#" />
<x-aura::mail-attachment name="terms.docx" />
</div>Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name |
string |
required | The file name. Truncated visually, never in the accessible name. |
href |
string|null |
null |
Renders a link opening in a new tab. Without it the chip is plain text. |
Accessibility
- The paperclip is decoration and is hidden from assistive technology: the file name is the content.
- Links open in a new tab with
rel="noopener", and the file name is the link text — not "download", which tells a screen-reader user nothing about which of five files they are on.
