Constrained, purposeful heading styles as a component.

Level

Controls the size of the heading and maps to the appropriate heading element (h1, h2, h3 or h4). The rendered element can be overridden with the as prop.

const headingLevels = ['1', '2', '3', '4'];

return (
  <Stack gap="large">
    {headingLevels.map(headingLevel => (
      <Heading key={headingLevel} as="h4" level={headingLevel} tone="neutral">
        Heading level {headingLevel}
      </Heading>
    ))}
  </Stack>
);

Tone

Headings can be either "neutral" or "primary".

<Stack gap="large">
  <Heading level="1" tone="neutral">
    Heading neutral
  </Heading>
  <Heading level="1" tone="primary">
    Heading primary
  </Heading>
</Stack>

Alignment

Text can be aligned with the align prop.

<Stack gap="small" dividers>
  <Heading level="3" align="left">
    Left (default)
  </Heading>
  <Heading level="3" align="center">
    Center
  </Heading>
  <Heading level="3" align="right">
    Right
  </Heading>
</Stack>

Truncation

Truncate text to a single line using the truncate prop. Useful for displaying user-generated content that may not fit within your layout.

<Stack gap="large" style={{ width: 200 }}>
  <Heading level="3" truncate>
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy
  </Heading>
</Stack>

Contrast

To ensure headings have sufficient contrast, when on a dark background the foreground colour is inverted.

<Box background="neutral" padding="large" borderRadius="small">
  <Heading level="3">This Heading is inverted to improve contrast.</Heading>
</Box>

Props

Extra props are passed into the underlying Box component.
