Text

A collection of utility classes to style text.

Combine this component with the Heading component to style your content.

Usage

Note If you are not using Tailwind CSS, you can skip this step. On your tailwind.config.js file, add the Text component within the ui() plugin.

import ui from "franken-ui";
 
ui({
    components: {
        text: {
            hooks: {},
            media: true
        }
    }
}),
