Text

Deprecated

Product subscription app extensions won't be supported as of February 9, 2026. You should migrate existing product subscription app extensions to purchase options extensions.

The Text component is used to render text in different sizes, colors, and alignments.

extend('Playground', (root) => {

const formattedText = root.createComponent(Text, {

appearance: 'success',

emphasized: true,

id: 'some_id',

size: 'small',

strong: true,

});

formattedText.appendChild('Formatted text is awesome!');

const simpleText = root.createText('This simple text is a bit less awesome');

root.appendChild(formattedText);

root.appendChild(simpleText);

root.mount();

});

Do not nest other components other than Text, they will be ignored and not rendered. Nested Text will be used to render the content of Text.

Use Text to add rich content to your extension	Use the `Text` component for headings or block element text. Use `Heading` and `TextBlock` components instead.
Use size to (de)-emphasize your content
