# `status-bar`

Tells the renderer to draw the platform status bar as an absolutely-positioned overlay with zero height — it does not push content down.

## Example

**status-bar**

```json
{
  "id": "home",
  "layout": {
    "_id": "root",
    "type": "column",
    "children": [
      {
        "_id": "sb",
        "type": "status-bar",
        "variant": "dark"
      },
      {
        "_id": "body",
        "type": "text",
        "content": "Below the status bar",
        "padding": 16
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

## States

`variant` (dark | light). Common to every node: `hover` / `press` / `focus` CSS bags, `showWhen` / `hideWhen`, `animate`.

## Stability

This node type is part of the format contract: adding an optional prop is additive; removing the node or narrowing an existing prop is breaking. Prop tables are generated from the schema; this page carries the prose.
