Box

Box is the most abstract component on top of which all other Argon Dashboard Chakra components are built. By default, it renders a div element.

The Box component is useful because it helps with 3 common use cases:

  • Create responsive layouts with ease.
  • Provide a shorthand way to pass styles via props (bg instead of backgroundColor).
  • Compose new component and allow for override using the as prop.

Import#

import { Box } from "@chakra-ui/react"

Usage#

<Box bg="tomato" w="100%" p={4} color="white">
This is the Box
</Box>
<Box bg="tomato" w="100%" p={4} color="white">
This is the Box
</Box>

as prop#

You can use the as prop to change the element render, just like styled-components.

<Box as="button" borderRadius="md" bg="tomato" color="white" px={4} h={8}>
Button
</Box>
<Box as="button" borderRadius="md" bg="tomato" color="white" px={4} h={8}>
Button
</Box>
