GitLabLabelStyle Component Demo
This page demonstrates the GitLabLabelStyle component that displays GitLab labels with proper styling and colors.
API Implementation
This component uses the official GitBeaker library with the ProjectLabels.all() method:
// Uses GitLab API: GET /projects/:id/labels?search=:labelName
await gitlab.ProjectLabels.all(projectId, { search: labelName });
The component performs exact name matching to ensure the correct label is displayed.
Basic Usage
The component can be used inline within text to display GitLab labels with their original colors and styling.
Here's an example of a scoped label: Loading...

Error Handling
When a label doesn't exist, the component shows an error state:
Loading...Docs

The component accepts the following props:
gitlabUrl(string, required): GitLab instance URL (fallback only — reads go through the GitLab proxy)projectId(string | number, required): GitLab project ID or pathlabelName(string, required): Exact name of the label to display
apiTokenis deprecated and ignored. Labels are read through the anonymous, read-only GitLab proxy of the KERN chatbot backend, so no GitLab API token is shipped to the browser.
