Thanks for this excellent work, @jeryj! The UX improvement is spot-on, and the implementation feels thoughtfully done.
However, I have some concerns about the API approach that I'd like us to consider before merging.
Concern: Maintaining Both Controlled and Uncontrolled Patterns
By adding onInputChange to complement the existing inputValue prop, we're completing a controlled component pattern for LinkControl. While technically backwards compatible, this creates a maintenance burden:
- Two state systems: The component now manages state in two modes (controlled vs uncontrolled)
- Testing complexity: We need to test and maintain both patterns going forward
- Third-party confusion: The API becomes harder to understand (
valuevsinputValue,onChangevsonInputChange) - "Partially controlled" trap: If someone passes
inputValuewithoutonInputChange, the input becomes read-only (a common React pitfall)
Since LinkControl is exported via @wordpress/block-editor and consumed by plugins like Yoast SEO, I'm concerned about creating a more complex API surface that we'll need to support long-term.
Suggested Alternative: Observable Pattern
I'd recommend a simpler approach that keeps the component uncontrolled while still achieving your goal:
Changes to LinkControl:
- Add
onInputChange✅ (keep this - it's great for observation) - Add
defaultInputValue⭐ (new prop for initial value on mount) - Deprecate
inputValue⚠️ (keep for backwards compat, but discourage) - Add dev warnings 🔔 (guide developers away from controlled usage)
Usage in Navigation Link:
const [searchInputValue, setSearchInputValue] = useState("");
<LinkControl
value={link}
onChange={onChange}
defaultInputValue={searchInputValue} // Initial value when mounting
onInputChange={setSearchInputValue} // Observe changes
// No inputValue prop - component stays uncontrolled
/>;This gives you everything you need:
- ✅ Observe what the user types via
onInputChange - ✅ Pre-populate page creator with
searchInputValue - ✅ Restore value after unmount/remount via
defaultInputValue - ✅ Component remains uncontrolled (simpler)
- ✅ No controlled/uncontrolled complexity
Dev Warning Example:
if (inputValue && onInputChange) {
console.warn(
"LinkControl: Using inputValue with onInputChange creates a controlled component. " +
"Consider using defaultInputValue + onInputChange instead for simpler state management.",
);
}Next Steps
Would you be open to adjusting the implementation to use this pattern? I'm happy to pair on this or provide more detailed guidance if helpful. The core feature is excellent - I just want to make sure we're setting ourselves up for maintainable code going forward.

@getdave I think it's helpful to compare what's happening in this PR vs the Trunk behavior. Looking at trunk's behavior:

Thanks for the detailed and well considered response 👍 My concern is creating a wider API surface to maintain. I appreciate that At the worst someone is using it but they are aware of it's limitations and thus are ok so long as we don't totally hard deprecate it. Limiting our API surface to uncontrolled and observable keeps things a lot simpler for what is already a overly complex component. I'm really nervous about introducing more complexity when we don't have a single use case for a controlled component. I would strongly favour Option 2 with solid documentation that this is not a controlled component. |

Thanks for the excellent work here, @jeryj and for iterating so quickly.
The UX improvement is good and your implementation of the observable pattern with defaultInputValue + deprecation of inputValue addresses the architectural concerns we discussed.
Functionality & UX
✅ The feature works as intended and is a genuinely nice upgrade - users no longer have to retype their search text when creating pages. The URL filtering with isURL() is smart, and having solid test coverage is great.
One observation on defaultInputValue usage
I noticed defaultInputValue is being passed searchInputValue state which updates on every keystroke (line 188). I believe this works because
LinkControlunmounts when switching to PageCreator (conditional rendering at lines 161 & 234), sodefaultInputValueonly applies on remount when clicking "Back."- the internals of LinkControl "protect" against controlled usage anyway
That said the pattern in the code might be a bit surprising on first read since it looks like we might be trying to control the input value. What do you think?
If you agree it's a concern here are a few thoughts on making the intent clearer:
Option 1: Add a comment explaining the unmount behavior
<LinkControl
onInputChange={setSearchInputValue}
// LinkControl unmounts when showing PageCreator, so defaultInputValue
// restores the search text when user clicks "Back" and component remounts
defaultInputValue={searchInputValue}
/>Option 2: Keep LinkControl mounted but hidden
<div style={{ display: addingPage ? 'none' : 'block' }}>
<LinkControl
onInputChange={setSearchInputValue}
// Internal state persists naturally, no defaultInputValue needed
/>
</div>FWIW, I'm not convinced preserving the search text on "Back" is essential, but I can see the argument for it. Either way, a quick comment would help future maintainers understand the pattern.
On the architectural direction
I want to acknowledge that I'm not absolutely certain avoiding a controlled pattern is the right call here. My gut instinct after working with this component for many years is that keeping the complexity low by sticking to uncontrolled/observable patterns is the way to go, but I could be wrong. If we find out later that was a mistake, I'm fully prepared to own it. Really appreciate your flexibility and willingness to work through this architectural discussion with me!
Thanks again for the thoughtful implementation! 🙏

Should we add a note to say a controlled pattern is not supported.
|
@WordPress/gutenberg-components - We're considering the implications of leaving the LinkControl component as uncontrolled with an observer (emit keystrokes onInputChange to parent) vs making LinkControl fully controlled. Does the components team have a philosophy or direction on controlled vs uncontrolled + observer for components? |
Moving forward in the new However, for existing components in That is to say, ideally all components support both modes, but for existing components with historical complications it has been acceptable to just support one. |
|
Thanks for the detailed answer! Maybe we should use the controlled version here and use defaultInputValue and inputValue for consistency. We didn't have any reason to block the use of controlled other than it's fairly untested. |
|
@mirka Thank you for the context about aiming to support both modes in newer components and for highlighting that in historical components the situation is more nuanced. @jeryj My understanding of options is:
However if we go for the former option, in order to introduce the observable aspect, we need to deprecate the |
|
OK folks I've thought about this for some time. In essence everyone's viewpoints have validity and strong justification. However, after weighing both options, I'd like to propose an Option C that prioritises limiting risk this close to the 7.0 cutoff. RationaleWe're 6 days from the Gutenberg cutoff for WP 7.0. Both options as stated involve either a deprecation (Option 1) or an expanded controlled API surface (Option 2) — neither of which we can battle-test in production before shipping to millions of sites. Mirka's guidance gives us room here: "for existing components with historical complications it has been acceptable to just support one [mode]." A a result my proposal is:
ImplementationI believe the core change to // Fix: inputValue is initial-value-only, internal state takes over after interaction
const currentUrlInputValue =
internalControlValue?.url !== undefined
? internalControlValue.url
: inputValue || '';
// New: observation callback
const handleInputChange = ( newValue ) => {
setInternalURLInputValue( newValue );
onInputChange?.( newValue );
};Plus a What do we think? Does this strike a good balance of risk whilst still leaving the door open to future improvements? |
This reverts commit 3d1a95d. We have decided to keep the existing inputValue prop.

Thanks for all the work here, it's looking really good.
I'm still not sure it's worth preserving the value when you go Back. Notice the issue below where the search doesn't happen when you go back. But it's not a blocker.
Screen.Capture.on.2026-02-12.at.11-47-52.mp4
Noting recommendation to create an Issue now to track a requirement to add a fully controlled pattern during the early part of the 7.1 cycle. That will allow sufficient time for testing.
I think clearing the input when going back is worse than having to repeat the search. I'll leave this as is. If it's important, we can have the search trigger when moving backwards. |

What?
Closes #73313
When adding a new navigation link, users can type search text (e.g., "About Us") and click the "Create page" button to create a new page. However, the page title field was always empty, forcing users to re-type the same text they just searched for.
Additionally, when clicking "Back" from the page creator, the search input value was lost, requiring users to type it again if they wanted to return to page creation. Now, when pressing Back, their original search value will still be there.
Why?
Improve UX paper cut for navigation link creation
How?
Implemented a controlled input pattern for LinkControl to preserve and pre-populate search text:
- Added optional
onInputChangecallback prop that fires when the user types in the search field- This completes the controlled component pattern: inputValue (existing) + onInputChange (new)
- Non-breaking change - callback is optional
- Uses
LinkControlin controlled mode: trackssearchInputValuestate- Pre-populates page title with search text, but only if it's not a URL
- Added
isValidURL()helper to filter out URLs using native `new URL() constructor- Clears search value after successful page creation
