# Text

```javascript
import { Text } from 'slate'
```

A text node in a Slate [`Document`](/v0.47/slate-core/document.md). Text nodes are always the bottom-most leaves in the document, just like in the DOM.

## Properties

```javascript
Text({
  key: String,
  text: String,
  marks: Immutable.List<Mark>,
})
```

### `key`

`String`

A unique identifier for the node.

### `text`

`String`

The text contents of this node.

### `marks`

`Immutable.Set<Mark>,`

A list of marks for this node.

### `object`

`String`

An immutable string value of `'text'` for easily separating this node from [`Inline`](/v0.47/slate-core/inline.md) or [`Block`](/v0.47/slate-core/block.md) nodes.
