React Chakra UI Typography Heading

Last Updated : 13 Feb, 2024

Chakra UI Typography Heading Component is used to display headings around the web application. Internally, the Heading Component renders HTML heading tags which can be customized using the as prop of the Heading Component.

The as prop take values h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6. Additionally, we can change the size of the rendered heading using the size prop and provide the size value to it. The value of the size prop can be overridden by the fontSize prop.

Prerequisites:

Approach:

We will create Heading tags by passing different values of the as and the size props. We will also use the fontSize prop to change the size of the heading according to our needs.
