What is a Typography component?

Typography is simply a component that handles the text-based content of your application like paragraphs, headers, etc.

Usage

It is a very easy use Typography component. Just import and insert on your application.

import React from 'react'
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography'

const Text = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <Typography>This is a Typography component.</Typography>
        </div>
    )
}

export default Text

It will give you a body1 text.

Apply styles to Typography with variant Prop

Variant Prop will allow you use different type of style like h1, h2, body2, subtitle1, subtitle2, caption etc.

import React from 'react'
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography'

const Text = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <Typography>This is a Typography component.</Typography>
            <Typography variant='h1'>This a H1 text</Typography>

            <Typography variant='body2'>This a body2 text</Typography>

        </div>
    )
}

export default Text

Change tags with component prop.

Suppose you want to use the h1 tag but want to use the h5 style. You can easily do it with Component Prop

import React from 'react'
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography'

const Text = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <Typography>This is a Typography component.</Typography>
            <Typography variant='h1'>This a H1 text</Typography>

            <Typography variant='body2'>This a body2 text</Typography>

            <Typography component='h1' variant='h5'>
                This a h5 text
            </Typography>

        </div>
    )
}

export default Text

You can also use react component

import React from 'react'
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography'

const Text = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <Typography>This is a Typography component.</Typography>
            <Typography variant='h1'>This a H1 text</Typography>

            <Typography variant='body2'>This a body2 text</Typography>

            <Typography component='h1' variant='h5'>
                This a h5 text
            </Typography>

            <Typography component={Button}>This a h5 text</Typography>
        </div>
    )
}

export default Text

We have used material-UI Button as a component

Change colors

You can change colors with color props. Check the documentation for the color values

import React from 'react'
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography'

const Text = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <Typography>This is a Typography component.</Typography>
            <Typography variant='h1'>This a H1 text</Typography>

            <Typography variant='body2'>This a body2 text</Typography>

            <Typography component='h1' variant='h5'>
                This a h5 text
            </Typography>

            <Typography component={Button}>This a h5 text</Typography>

            <Typography color='primary' variant='h1'>
                This a Primary text
            </Typography>
            <Typography color='secondary' variant='h1'>
                This a Secondary text
            </Typography>
            <Typography color='error' variant='h1'>
                This a Error text
            </Typography>
        </div>
    )
}

export default Text

Align text

You can easily align text with the align prop.

import React from 'react'
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography'

const Text = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <Typography>This is a Typography component.</Typography>
            <Typography variant='h1'>This a H1 text</Typography>

            <Typography variant='body2'>This a body2 text</Typography>

            <Typography component='h1' variant='h5'>
                This a h5 text
            </Typography>

            <Typography component={Button}>This a h5 text</Typography>

            <Typography color='primary' variant='h1'>
                This a Primary text
            </Typography>
            <Typography color='secondary' variant='h1' align='center'>
                This a Centered aligned Secondary text
            </Typography>
            <Typography color='error' variant='h1' align='right'>
                This a Error text
            </Typography>

        </div>
    )
}

export default Text
