Text
Text
component is the used to render text and paragraphs within an interface.

import { Text } from '@chakra-ui/react'
Changing the font size#
To increase the font size of the text, you can pass the fontSize
prop.
<Stack spacing={3}><Text fontSize='6xl'>(6xl) In love with React & Next</Text><Text fontSize='5xl'>(5xl) In love with React & Next</Text><Text fontSize='4xl'>(4xl) In love with React & Next</Text><Text fontSize='3xl'>(3xl) In love with React & Next</Text><Text fontSize='2xl'>(2xl) In love with React & Next</Text><Text fontSize='xl'>(xl) In love with React & Next</Text><Text fontSize='lg'>(lg) In love with React & Next</Text><Text fontSize='md'>(md) In love with React & Next</Text><Text fontSize='sm'>(sm) In love with React & Next</Text><Text fontSize='xs'>(xs) In love with React & Next</Text></Stack>
Truncate text#
Pass the isTruncated
prop to render an ellipsis when the text exceeds the
width of the viewport or maxWidth
prop.
<Text color='gray.500' isTruncated>Lorem ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in the graphic, print, andpublishing industries for previewing layouts and visual mockups.</Text>
Likewise, if you'd like to truncate the text after a specific number of lines,
pass the noOfLines
prop and set it to the desired no of lines.
Pro Tip 💡: You can also apply
noOfLines
responsively.
// Basic version<Text noOfLines={2}>"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is an English-language pangram—asentence that contains all of the letters of the English alphabet. Owing toits existence, Chakra was created.</Text>// Responsive version<Text noOfLines={[1, 2, 3]}>"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is an English-language pangram—asentence that contains all of the letters of the English alphabet. Owing toits existence, Chakra was created.</Text>
Override style#
You can change the entire style of the text via props. For example, to change
the font size, pass the fontSize
prop. No need to write css
or styled()
.
<Text fontSize='50px' color='tomato'>I'm using a custom font-size value for this text</Text>
Override the element#
To override the element that gets rendered, pass the as
prop. Use Inspect
Element to see the element that gets rendered in html.
<><Text as='i'>Italic</Text><br /><Text as='u'>Underline</Text><br /><Text as='abbr'>I18N</Text><br /><Text as='cite'>Citation</Text><br /><Text as='del'>Deleted</Text><br /><Text as='em'>Emphasis</Text><br /><Text as='ins'>Inserted</Text><br /><Text as='kbd'>Ctrl + C</Text><br /><Text as='mark'>Highlighted</Text><br /><Text as='s'>Strikethrough</Text><br /><Text as='samp'>Sample</Text><br /><Text as='sub'>sub</Text><br /><Text as='sup'>sup</Text></>
