Component name

The name JoyTypography can be used when providing default props or style overrides in the theme.

Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		The content of the component.
color	'danger' \| 'info' \| 'neutral' \| 'primary' \| 'success' \| 'warning' \| string		The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.
component	elementType		The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
endDecorator	node		Element placed after the children.
gutterBottom	bool	false	If `true`, the text will have a bottom margin.
level	'body1' \| 'body2' \| 'body3' \| 'h1' \| 'h2' \| 'h3' \| 'h4' \| 'h5' \| 'h6' \| 'inherit' \| string	'body1'	Applies the theme typography styles.
levelMapping	object	{ h1: 'h1', h2: 'h2', h3: 'h3', h4: 'h4', h5: 'h5', h6: 'h6', body1: 'p', body2: 'p', body3: 'p', inherit: 'p', }	The component maps the variant prop to a range of different HTML element types. For instance, body1 to `<h6>`. If you wish to change that mapping, you can provide your own. Alternatively, you can use the `component` prop.
noWrap	bool	false	If `true`, the text will not wrap, but instead will truncate with a text overflow ellipsis. Note that text overflow can only happen with block or inline-block level elements (the element needs to have a width in order to overflow).
startDecorator	node		Element placed before the children.
sx	Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object		The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.
textColor	any		The system color.
variant	'outlined' \| 'plain' \| 'soft' \| 'solid' \| string		The variant to use.

As a CSS utility, the Typography component also supports all system properties. You can use them as props directly on the component.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
