Introduction

The <Text> component is used to render text in your app. It lets you easily display and customize your text content.

​
Basic usage

To use the <Text> component, you can just include it in your app and pass the text you want to display as a child of the component. 
import { Text } from '@latitude-data/react'

const MyComponent = () => (
  <Text>
    Hello, world!
  </Text>
)
You can use our scale of predefined styles to quickly customize your text. Here’s an example: 
import { Text } from '@latitude-data/react'
