FittedText

This component can be useful in situations where an internationalized string is being placed into the UI and it's unclear if all variations of it will fit without excessive amounts of edge-case CSS. Ultimately, it's good at making sure what you put in doesn't overflow.

Installation

npm i boundless-fitted-text --save

Then use it like:

/** @jsx createElement */
 
import { createElement } from 'react';
import Button from 'boundless-button';
import FittedText from 'boundless-fitted-text';
 
export default () => (
    <div className='spread'>
        <Button className='tall-button'>
            <FittedText>Welcome</FittedText>
        </Button>
        <Button className='tall-button'>
            <FittedText>Добро пожаловать</FittedText>
        </Button>
        <Button className='tall-button'>
            <FittedText>Benvenuto</FittedText>
        </Button>
        <Button className='tall-button'>
            <FittedText>환영합니다</FittedText>
        </Button>
        <Button className='tall-button'>
            <FittedText>സ്വാഗതം</FittedText>
        </Button>
    </div>
);

FittedText can also just be directly used from the main Boundless library. This is recommended when you're getting started to avoid maintaining the package versions of several components:

npm i boundless --save

the ES6 import statement then becomes like:

import { FittedText } from 'boundless';
