Usage Guidelines
When to use
Use Box as a generic layout primitive when you need a styled container with NativeWind classes.
Best practices
•
Use Box instead of raw View when you need NativeWind className support.
•
Compose Box with Stack and Center for complex layouts.
•
Keep nesting shallow — prefer flex utilities over deeply nested Boxes.
Accessibility
Box renders as a View and inherits all accessibility props. Add accessibilityRole when the box has semantic meaning.
