Box

View on MongoDB.design

Overview

Box is a polymorphic component that renders a given component depending on the provided props. For example, providing the href prop can indicate Box should be rendered as an anchor tag. Providing the as prop indicates that Box should be rendered as the component referenced by as. By default, Box will render as the HTML element div.

This can be useful for simplifying components that are repetitively used, but need different behaviors.
