Using the `as` prop to reassign the HTML tag

Instructor: [0:00] I have this button here and this button is already a styled component. As you can see here, it's a styled.button.

[0:06] Let's say that I want to add an A, a link and say a.href, and we can just add https://global.com. It doesn't really matter what's written there, but let me just fix it. Now, let's type Google and close this A. This A does not look good. Let's just be honest about it.

[0:29] What if we could reuse the button styles, but use it as an A. We want the button styles. I can just come here and say, "OK, cool. I want this to be a button." The problem is that hrefs don't work. It makes sense. That's how buttons work.

[0:44] We don't want to add this on an on click. There is a prop called as, which we can pass to any styled component that will basically reassign the HTML element. In this case, it's a button, but this part can be actually reassigned.

[0:58] If I come here and I say as and I add the HTML button at HTML component I want to replace it with, like this case A, this actually becomes a button. You can see that the styles are the same. We just have the sticks underlined, which is fixable in both by just adding text decoration and adding none.

[1:20] Now we have a completely working A as you can see and we have a button that doesn't go anywhere. This is how you can reassign HTML elements in styled components.
