Style Props Style props are a way to alter the style of a component by simply passing props
to it. It helps to save time by providing helpful shorthand ways to style
components.

The as
prop # The as
prop is a feature in all of our components that allows you to pass an
HTML tag or component to be rendered.
For example, say you are using a Button
component, and you need to make it a
link instead. You can compose a
and Button
like this:
< Button as = " a " target = " _blank " variant = " outline " href = " https://chakra-ui.com " >
Hello
</ Button >
copy This allows you to use all of the Button
props and all of the a
props
without having to wrap the Button in an a
component.
