# SafeArea

A container that applies safe area insets as padding or margin, ensuring content is not hidden behind system UI such as the home indicator on iOS or the navigation bar on Android.

You can pass in custom classes and styles just like a regular `div`, so we recommend using it in place of your usual top-level wrapper.

When no `edges` prop is specified, all four edges are applied. If you only need a specific edge, for example a sticky footer, use `edges={["bottom"]}`.

#### Props

  **React.ReactNode**

  Content to render inside the safe area

* **className**

* **edges**

  **Edge\[]**

  Which edges to apply safe area insets to. Defaults to all edges.

* **mode**

  **'padding' | 'margin'**

  Whether to apply insets as padding or margin. Defaults to 'padding'.

* **style**

  **React.CSSProperties**

  Additional inline styles

### Examples

  ##### tsx

  ```tsx
  import {SafeArea} from '@shopify/shop-minis-react'

  function FullScreenPage() {
    return (
      <SafeArea className="min-h-dvh p-4">
        <h1>My Page</h1>
        <p>
          This content is padded away from all safe area edges so it will not be
          hidden behind system UI.
        </p>
      </SafeArea>
    )
  }

  export default FullScreenPage
  ```
