Stack layout

Also known as

Inline layout, Flex layout, Column layout

StackLayout displays items in horizontal or vertical order on a single line. It builds on the FlexLayout component and is best for small-scale layouts where displaying components in a single row or column is necessary. It may benefit from supported visual separators, such as a row of charts or a scrolling side panel comprising multiple sections. For additional control of the size and position of content, use FlexItem for each content item inside StackLayout.

  • When you need a layout that's consistently horizontal or vertical. If there isn't enough space in the main axis, scrolling the content is acceptable.
  • For small-scale layouts within the application, such as a stack of cards or charts or a vertical side panel with visually distinct sections.
  • To change the layout’s direction depending on breakpoints or add visual separation using the stack layout separators.
  • Stack layouts will never wrap. If you want to create a layout in a row that responsively wraps over multiple lines, use FlowLayout instead.
  • If you want the layout to have more complex customization. In this case, consider FlexLayout.
