@leafygreen-ui/typography
Advanced tools
@leafygreen-ui/typography is a React component library that provides a set of typography components designed to align with MongoDB's design system. It allows developers to easily implement consistent and accessible typography styles in their applications.
Basic Typography
This feature allows you to use predefined typography components like H1 and Body to create headings and body text with consistent styling.
import { H1, Body } from '@leafygreen-ui/typography';
function App() {
return (
<div>
<H1>Heading 1</H1>
<Body>Body text goes here.</Body>
</div>
);
}
Customizing Typography
This feature allows you to customize the typography components by adding custom CSS classes to change their appearance.
import { H2, Subtitle } from '@leafygreen-ui/typography';
function CustomTypography() {
return (
<div>
<H2 className="custom-heading">Custom Heading</H2>
<Subtitle className="custom-subtitle">Custom Subtitle</Subtitle>
</div>
);
}
// CSS
.custom-heading {
color: #4caf50;
}
.custom-subtitle {
font-style: italic;
}
Responsive Typography
This feature demonstrates how to create responsive typography that changes based on the screen size using media queries.
import { H3, Overline } from '@leafygreen-ui/typography';
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive';
function ResponsiveTypography() {
const isMobile = useMediaQuery({ maxWidth: 767 });
return (
<div>
<H3>{isMobile ? 'Mobile Heading' : 'Desktop Heading'}</H3>
<Overline>{isMobile ? 'Mobile Overline' : 'Desktop Overline'}</Overline>
</div>
);
}
