# Text

The **Text** component is used to display a piece of textual information.

>  **NOTE**
>
>  This component is supported since API version 7. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.


## Child Components

This component can contain the [Span](ts-basic-components-span.md), [ImageSpan](ts-basic-components-imagespan.md), [SymbolSpan](ts-basic-components-symbolSpan.md), and [ContainerSpan](ts-basic-components-containerspan.md) child components.

## APIs

Text(content?: string | Resource , value?: TextOptions)

**Widget capability**: This API can be used in ArkTS widgets since API version 9.

**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

**Parameters**

| Name| Type| Mandatory| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| content | string \| [Resource](ts-types.md#resource) | No| Text content. This parameter does not take effect if the component contains a **\<Span>** child component and does not have any [styled string](ts-universal-styled-string.md#styled-string) configured. In this case, the span content is displayed, and the style of the component does not take effect.<br>Default value: **' '**|
| value<sup>11+</sup> | [TextOptions](#textoptions11) | No| Initialization options of the component.|

## Attributes

In addition to the [universal attributes](ts-universal-attributes-size.md), the following attributes are supported.

### textAlign

textAlign(value: TextAlign)

Sets the horizontal alignment mode of the text.

The text takes up the full width of the **Text** component.

To set vertical alignment for the text, use the [align](ts-universal-attributes-location.md) attribute. The **align** attribute alone does not control the horizontal position of the text. In other words, **Alignment.TopStart**, **Alignment.Top**, and **Alignment.TopEnd** produce the same effect, top-aligning the text; **Alignment.Start**, **Alignment.Center**, and **Alignment.End** produce the same effect, centered-aligning the text vertically; **Alignment.BottomStart**, **Alignment.Bottom**, and **Alignment.BottomEnd** produce the same effect, bottom-aligning the text. Yet, it can work with the **textAlign** attribute to jointly determine the horizontal position of the text.

When **textAlign** is set to **TextAlign.JUSTIFY**, you must set the [wordBreak](#wordbreak11) attribute, and the text in the last line is horizontally aligned with the start edge.

**Widget capability**: This API can be used in ArkTS widgets since API version 9.

**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

**Parameters**

| Name| Type                                       | Mandatory| Description                                                      |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------- | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| value  | [TextAlign](ts-appendix-enums.md#textalign) | Yes  | Horizontal alignment of the text.<br>Default value: **TextAlign.Start**|

### textOverflow

textOverflow(value: { overflow: TextOverflow })

Sets the display mode when the text is too long.

Text is clipped at the transition between words. To clip text in the middle of a word, add **\u200B** between characters. Since API version 11, preferably set the **wordBreak** attribute to **WordBreak.BREAK_ALL** to achieve the same purpose. For details, see [Example](#example-4).

If **overflow** is set to **TextOverflow.None**, **TextOverflow.Clip**, or **TextOverflow.Ellipsis**, this attribute must be used with **maxLines** for the settings to take effect. **TextOverflow.None** produces the same effect as **TextOverflow.Clip**.

If **overflow** is set to **TextOverflow.MARQUEE**, the text scrolls in a line, and neither **maxLines** nor **copyOption** takes effect. The **textAlign** attribute takes effect only when the text is not scrollable. With **overflow** set to **TextOverflow.MARQUEE**, the **clip** attribute is set to **true** by default. **TextOverflow.MARQUEE** is not available for [CustomSpan](ts-universal-styled-string.md#customspan) of the styled string.

Since API version 12, **TextOverflow.MARQUEE** is available for the **\<ImageSpan>** component, where the text and images are displayed in scrolling mode in a line.

### heightAdaptivePolicy<sup>10+</sup>

heightAdaptivePolicy(value: TextHeightAdaptivePolicy)

Sets how the adaptive height is determined for the text.

When this attribute is set to **TextHeightAdaptivePolicy.MAX_LINES_FIRST**, the [maxlines](#maxlines) attribute takes precedence for adjusting the text height. If the **maxLines** setting results in a layout beyond the layout constraints, the text will shrink to a font size between [minFontSize](#minfontsize) and [maxFontSize](#maxfontsize) to allow for more content to be shown.

If this attribute is set to **TextHeightAdaptivePolicy.MIN_FONT_SIZE_FIRST**, the **minFontSize** attribute takes precedence for adjusting the text height. If the text can fit in one line with the **minFontSize** setting, the text will enlarge to the largest possible font size between **minFontSize** and **maxFontSize**.

If this attribute is set to **TextHeightAdaptivePolicy.LAYOUT_CONSTRAINT_FIRST**, the layout constraints take precedence for adjusting the text height. If the resultant layout is beyond the layout constraints, the text will shrink to a font size between **minFontSize** and **maxFontSize** to respect the layout constraints. If the text still extends beyond the layout constraints after shrinking to **minFontSize**, the lines that exceed the constraints are deleted.

**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

### selection<sup>11+</sup>

selection(selectionStart: number, selectionEnd: number)

Sets text selection. The selected text is highlighted, and a selection handle is displayed together with a menu of available actions.

When **copyOption** is set to **CopyOptions.None**, the **selection** attribute is not effective.

When **overflow** is set to **TextOverflow.MARQUEE**, the **selection** attribute is not effective.

If the value of **selectionStart** is greater than or equal to that of **selectionEnd**, no text will be selected. The value range is [0, textSize], where **textSize** indicates the maximum number of characters in the text content. If the value is less than 0, the value **0** will be used. If the value is greater than **textSize**, **textSize** will be used.

If the value of **selectionStart** or **selectionEnd** falls within the invisible area, no text will be selected. If clipping is disabled, the text selection outside of the parent component takes effect.

**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

**Parameters**

| Name        | Type  | Mandatory| Description                                |

| selectionEnd   | number | Yes  | End position of the selected text.<br>Default value: **-1**|

### ellipsisMode<sup>11+</sup>

ellipsisMode(value: EllipsisMode)

Sets the ellipsis position. For the settings to work, **overflow** must be set to **TextOverflow.Ellipsis** and **maxLines** must be specified. Setting **ellipsisMode** alone does not take effect.

**EllipsisMode.START** and **EllipsisMode.CENTER** take effect only when text overflows in a single line.

**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 12.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

**Parameters**

| Name| Type                                               | Mandatory| Description                                     |

### enableDataDetector<sup>11+</sup>

enableDataDetector(enable: boolean)

Enables recognition for special entities within the text.

This API only works on devices that provide text recognition.

When **enableDataDetector** is set to **true**, and the **dataDetectorConfig** attribute is not set, all types of entities are recognized by default, and the **color** and **decoration** of the recognized entities will be changed to the following styles:

```ts
color: '#ff007dff'
decoration:{
  type: TextDecorationType.Underline,
  color: '#ff007dff',
  style: TextDecorationStyle.SOLID
}
```

Touching and right-clicking an entity with the mouse will pop up the corresponding entity operation menu based on the type of entity, while left-clicking an entity with the mouse will directly respond to the first option of the menu.

This API does not work when **overflow** is set to **TextOverflow.MARQUEE**.

When **copyOption** is set to **CopyOptions.None**, the menu displayed after an entity is clicked does not provide the text selection or copy functionality. When **copyOption** is not set to **CopyOptions.None**, and **textSelectable** is set to **TextSelectableMode.UNSELECTABLE**, the entity still has the copy functionality but does not have the text selection feature.

**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 12.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

**Parameters**

| Name| Type   | Mandatory| Description                             |

![alt text](figures/arkts-fontfeature.png)

Font features are advanced typographic features, such as ligatures and monospace, for OpenType fonts. They are typically used in custom fonts and require the support of the font itself.
For more information about the font features, see [Low-level font feature settings control: the font-feature-settings property](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-3/#font-feature-settings-prop) and [The Complete CSS Demo for OpenType Features](https://sparanoid.com/lab/opentype-features/).

>  **NOTE**<br/>
>
>  The **Text** component cannot contain both text and the child component **\<Span>** or **\<ImageSpan>**. If both of them exist, only the content in **\<Span>** or **\<ImageSpan>** is displayed.
>
>  The typesetting engine rounds down the value of [width](ts-universal-attributes-size.md#width) to ensure that the value is an integer. If the typesetting engine rounds up the value instead, the right side of the text may be clipped.
>
>  When multiple **Text** components are placed in the [\<Row>](ts-container-row.md) container with no specific layout or space allocation settings configured, the components are laid out based on the maximum size of the container. To make sure the sum of the components' main axis sizes does not exceed the main axis size of the container, you can set [layoutWeight](ts-universal-attributes-size.md#layoutweight) or use the [flex layout](ts-universal-attributes-flex-layout.md).
