Text

• Themes that give you control over spacing, weights, and sizes custom to each font.
• Size prop that automatically matches all theme values.
• Media query styles, hoverStyle, pressStyle, focusStyle.

Installation

If you're using @hanzo/gui, SizableText and Paragraph are already included. Otherwise, install independently:

npm install @hanzogui/text

Usage

export default () => (
  <>
    <Text>Text</Text>
    <SizableText>Sizable Text</SizableText>
    <Paragraph>Paragraph</Paragraph>
  </>
)

Text

Text in Hanzo GUI matches Text in react-native-web, with the added Gui props.

It explicitly does not inherit your theme color or other font properties, as it is meant to be plain and used for extension. Below, we show SizableText which extends Text, and Paragraph which extends SizableText. Generally, Paragraph is the useful component as it uses theme values, while you can extend Text if you want to derive your own design system.

import { Text, XStack, YStack } from '@hanzo/gui'

export default () => (
  <>
    <Text
      // can add theme values
      color="$white"
      fontFamily="$body"
      // or just use direct values
      fontSize={20}
      hoverStyle={{
        color: '$colorHover',
      }}
    >
      Lorem ipsum
    </Text>
  </>
)

SizableText

Hanzo GUI lets you define font sizing, spacing, line height, letter spacing and other properties with createFont, of which you can have many different configurations. We've found a nice pattern is to "align" all your keys across these sub-objects.

SizableText adds a size property that is defined using a spread variant which looks for a matching key on each of these properties (using @hanzogui/get-font-sized):

• color
• fontStyle
• textTransform
• fontFamily
• fontWeight
• letterSpacing
• fontSize
• lineHeight

So, if you've defined small, medium and large keys on each createFont category, you can use it like so:

<SizableText size="$small" />

Source code for SizableText.

Paragraph

Paragraph extends SizableText and is defined as:

export const Paragraph = styled(SizableText, {
  name: 'Paragraph',
  tag: 'p',
  userSelect: 'auto',
  color: '$color',
  size: '$true',
  whiteSpace: 'normal',
})

Inline Text Elements

For semantic inline text styling, @hanzogui/text exports Strong, Em, and Span:

import { Strong, Em, Span, Paragraph } from '@hanzogui/text'

export default () => (
  <Paragraph>
    This is <Strong>bold text</Strong>, this is <Em>italic text</Em>, and this is a{' '}
    <Span color="$blue10">colored span</Span>.
  </Paragraph>
)

These render to their corresponding HTML elements (<strong>, <em>, <span>) on web while remaining compatible with React Native.
