# LinkButton

The component for opening a link in a button.

```
object LinkButton
```

## Discussion

Use the `LinkButton` component to display a button with a link. The link opens when someone interacts with the button. You can place the `LinkButton` anywhere in the document and style it using [`ComponentStyle`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/ComponentStyle) and [`ComponentTextStyle`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/ComponentTextStyle) properties.

### Example

```json
{
  "components": [
    {
      "role": "link_button",
      "URL": "http://apple.com",
      "text": "Read More",
      "style": {
        "backgroundColor": "#DDD",
        "mask": {
          "type": "corners",
          "radius": 25
        }
      },
      "layout": {
        "padding": 10
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
