Content#


Text is used to wrap text strings and elements within other components. Based on the component it is used within, it gets Spectrum styling and may have a preassigned slot for positioning. By virtue of its name, the Text component provides semantic meaning in the context they are placed. Examples of its usage in Dialog and Button. It is important to note that the Text component accepts any renderable node, not just strings.
