Once an Text Component has been added to the page from the Component selector, the Text Component can be passed as a parameter to actions. Code within the action can set properties on the Text Component.

var uActions = require('u-actions');
var Action = uActions.Action;
new Action('Text Demo', textDemo)
.addParameter('Text', uActions.ParamType.TEXT)
.register();
function textDemo(comp) {
var textComp = uComps.cast.toText(comp);
textComp.text = 'Text to appear';
textComp.fontColor = '#2a2c94';
textComp.fontSize = 12;
