+
+## Usage
+
+The Link component is a wrapper around [`<NuxtLink>`](https://nuxt.com/docs/api/components/nuxt-link) through the [custom](https://router.vuejs.org/api/interfaces/RouterLinkProps.html#Properties-custom) prop that provides a few extra props:
+
+- `inactive-class` prop to set a class when the link is inactive, `active-class` is used when active.
+- `exact` prop to style with `active-class` when the link is active and the route is exactly the same as the current route.
+- `exact-query` and `exact-hash` props to style with `active-class` when the link is active and the query or hash is exactly the same as the current query or hash.
+
+The incentive behind this is to provide the same API as NuxtLink back in Nuxt 2 / Vue 2. You can read more about it in the Vue Router [migration from Vue 2](https://router.vuejs.org/guide/migration/#removal-of-the-exact-prop-in-router-link) guide.
+
+It also renders an `<a>` tag when a `to` prop is provided, otherwise it renders a `<button>` tag.
+
+It is used underneath by the [Button](/elements/button), [Dropdown](/elements/dropdown) and [VerticalNavigation](/navigation/vertical-navigation) components.
