I'm using Sitecore MVC with Glass Mapper.
When I'm creating a component with a link field, I just add
@Editable(myLink, x=> x.myLinkField)
After setting the links properly on Experience Editor and publishing, it automatically creates the anchor tag with the specified url, class, etc.
I'm wondering where exactly application is creating those attributes and tag. Is this the work of Glass Mapper or any other code?
Internally glass is using sitecore APIs only. If you want to have a look at the exact code then check the GlassView class under Glass.Mapper.Sc.Web.Mvc namespace,using any decompiler, in that you will find all the editable methods which internally make a call to Editable method of GlassHtml class under Glass.Mapper.Sc namespace.
You can find the final code in BeginRenderLink method of GlassHtml class only. The BeginRenderLink is creating anchor tag for you when you use the Editable method for link field.
