Typography API
The API documentation of the Typography React component. Learn more about the properties and the CSS customization points.
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography';Props
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| align | enum: 'inherit', 'left', 'center', 'right', 'justify' |
'inherit' | Set the text-align on the component. |
| children | node | The content of the component. | |
| classes | object | Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details. | |
| color | enum: 'default', 'error', 'inherit', 'primary', 'secondary', 'textPrimary', 'textSecondary' |
'default' | The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component. |
| component | componentPropType | The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a DOM element or a component. By default, it maps the variant to a good default headline component. | |
| gutterBottom | bool | false | If true, the text will have a bottom margin. |
| headlineMapping | object | { h1: 'h1', h2: 'h2', h3: 'h3', h4: 'h4', h5: 'h5', h6: 'h6', subtitle1: 'h6', subtitle2: 'h6', body1: 'p', body2: 'p', // deprecated display4: 'h1', display3: 'h1', display2: 'h1', display1: 'h1', headline: 'h1', title: 'h2', subheading: 'h3',} | We are empirically mapping the variant property to a range of different DOM element types. For instance, subtitle1 to <h6>. If you wish to change that mapping, you can provide your own. Alternatively, you can use the component property. The default mapping is the following: |
| inline | bool | false | Controls whether the Typography is inline or not. |
| internalDeprecatedVariant | bool | A deprecated variant is used from an internal component. Users don't need a deprecation warning here if they switched to the v2 theme. They already get the mapping that will be applied in the next major release. | |
| noWrap | bool | false | If true, the text will not wrap, but instead will truncate with an ellipsis. |
| paragraph | bool | false | If true, the text will have a bottom margin. |
| variant | enum: 'h1', 'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5', 'h6', 'subtitle1', 'subtitle2', 'body1', 'body2', 'caption', 'button', 'overline', 'srOnly', 'inherit', "display4", 'display3', 'display2', 'display1', 'headline', 'title', 'subheading' |
Applies the theme typography styles. Use body1 as the default value with the legacy implementation and body2 with the new one. |
Any other properties supplied will be spread to the root element (native element).
