Stack

Organizes elements horizontally or vertically along the block or inline axis. Use to structure layouts, group related components, or control spacing between elements.

Anchor to propertiesProperties

Anchor to accessibilityLabel
accessibilityLabel
string

A label that describes the purpose or contents of the element. When set, it will be announced to users using assistive technologies and will provide them with more context.

Only use this when the element's content is not enough context for users using assistive technologies.

Anchor to accessibilityRole
accessibilityRole

Sets the semantic meaning of the component’s content. When set, the role will be used by assistive technologies to help users navigate the page.

Anchor to accessibilityVisibility
accessibilityVisibility
"visible" | "hidden" | "exclusive"

Changes the visibility of the element.

  • visible: the element is visible to all users.
  • hidden: the element is removed from the accessibility tree but remains visible.
  • exclusive: the element is visually hidden but remains in the accessibility tree.
Anchor to alignContent
alignContent

Aligns the Stack along the cross axis.

Anchor to alignItems
alignItems

Aligns the Stack's children along the cross axis.

Anchor to background
background

Adjust the background of the element.

Anchor to blockSize
blockSize
"auto" |

Adjust the block size.

Anchor to border
border

Set the border via the shorthand property.

This can be a size, optionally followed by a color, optionally followed by a style.

If the color is not specified, it will be base.

If the style is not specified, it will be auto.

Values can be overridden by borderWidth, borderStyle, and borderColor.

Anchor to borderColor
borderColor
"" |

Set the color of the border.

If set, it takes precedence over the border property's color.

Anchor to borderRadius
borderRadius
<>

Set the radius of the border.

1-to-4-value syntax is supported. Note that, contrary to the CSS, it uses flow-relative values and the order is:

  • 4 values: start-start start-end end-end end-start
  • 3 values: start-start (start-end & end-start) start-end
  • 2 values: (start-start & end-end) (start-end & end-start)

For example:

  • small-100 means start-start, start-end, end-end and end-start border radii are small-100.
  • small-100 none means start-start and end-end border radii are small-100, start-end and end-start border radii are none.
  • small-100 none large-100 means start-start border radius is small-100, start-end border radius is none, end-end border radius is large-100 and end-start border radius is none.
  • small-100 none large-100 small-100 means start-start border radius is small-100, start-end border radius is none, end-end border radius is large-100 and end-start border radius is small-100.
Anchor to borderStyle
borderStyle
"" | <>

Set the style of the border.

If set, it takes precedence over the border property's style.

Like CSS, up to 4 values can be specified.

If one value is specified, it applies to all sides.

If two values are specified, they apply to the block sides and inline sides respectively.

If three values are specified, they apply to the block-start, both inline sides, and block-end respectively.

If four values are specified, they apply to the block-start, block-end, inline-start, and inline-end sides respectively.

Anchor to borderWidth
borderWidth
"" | <"small" | "small-100" | "base" | "large" | "large-100" | "none">

Set the width of the border.

If set, it takes precedence over the border property's width.

Like CSS, up to 4 values can be specified.

If one value is specified, it applies to all sides.

If two values are specified, they apply to the block sides and inline sides respectively.

If three values are specified, they apply to the block-start, both inline sides, and block-end respectively.

If four values are specified, they apply to the block-start, block-end, inline-start, and inline-end sides respectively.

Anchor to columnGap
columnGap
<"" | >

Adjust spacing between elements in the inline axis.

This overrides the column value of gap. columnGap either accepts:

  • a single SpacingKeyword value (e.g. large-100)
  • OR a responsive value string with the supported SpacingKeyword as a query value.
Anchor to direction
direction
<"inline" | "block">

Sets how the Stack's children are placed within the Stack.

direction either accepts:

  • a single value either inline or block
  • OR a responsive value string with the supported SpacingKeyword as a query value.
Anchor to display
display
<"auto" | "none">

Sets the outer display type of the component. The outer type sets a component's participation in flow layout.

  • auto the component's initial value. The actual value depends on the component and context.
  • none hides the component from display and removes it from the accessibility tree, making it invisible to screen readers.
Anchor to gap
gap
<<>>

Adjust spacing between elements.

gap can either accept:

  • a single SpacingKeyword value applied to both axes (e.g. large-100)
  • OR a pair of values (eg large-100 large-500) can be used to set the inline and block axes respectively
  • OR a responsive value string with the supported SpacingKeyword as a query value.
Anchor to inlineSize
inlineSize
"auto" |

Adjust the inline size.

Anchor to justifyContent
justifyContent

Aligns the Stack along the main axis.

Anchor to maxBlockSize
maxBlockSize
"none" |

Adjust the maximum block size.

Anchor to maxInlineSize
maxInlineSize
"none" |

Adjust the maximum inline size.

Anchor to minBlockSize
minBlockSize

Adjust the minimum block size.

Anchor to minInlineSize
minInlineSize

Adjust the minimum inline size.

Anchor to overflow
overflow
"visible" | "hidden"

Sets the overflow behavior of the element.

  • hidden: clips the content when it is larger than the element’s container. The element will not be scrollable and the users will not be able to access the clipped content by dragging or using a scroll wheel on a mouse.
  • visible: the content that extends beyond the element’s container is visible.
Anchor to padding
padding
<<>>

Adjust the padding of all edges.

1-to-4-value syntax is supported. Note that, contrary to the CSS, it uses flow-relative values and the order is:

  • 4 values: block-start inline-end block-end inline-start
  • 3 values: block-start inline block-end
  • 2 values: block inline

For example:

  • large means block-start, inline-end, block-end and inline-start paddings are large.
  • large none means block-start and block-end paddings are large, inline-start and inline-end paddings are none.
  • large none large means block-start padding is large, inline-end padding is none, block-end padding is large and inline-start padding is none.
  • large none large small means block-start padding is large, inline-end padding is none, block-end padding is large and inline-start padding is small.

A padding value of auto will use the default padding for the closest container that has had its usual padding removed.

padding also accepts a responsive value string with the supported PaddingKeyword as a query value.

Anchor to paddingBlock
paddingBlock
<"" | <>>

Adjust the block-padding.

  • large none means block-start padding is large, block-end padding is none.

This overrides the block value of padding.

paddingBlock also accepts a responsive value string with the supported PaddingKeyword as a query value.

Anchor to paddingBlockEnd
paddingBlockEnd
<"" | >

Adjust the block-end padding.

This overrides the block-end value of paddingBlock.

paddingBlockEnd also accepts a responsive value string with the supported PaddingKeyword as a query value.

Anchor to paddingBlockStart
paddingBlockStart
<"" | >

Adjust the block-start padding.

This overrides the block-start value of paddingBlock.

paddingBlockStart also accepts a responsive value string with the supported PaddingKeyword as a query value.

Anchor to paddingInline
paddingInline
<"" | <>>

Adjust the inline padding.

  • large none means inline-start padding is large, inline-end padding is none.

This overrides the inline value of padding.

paddingInline also accepts a responsive value string with the supported PaddingKeyword as a query value.

Anchor to paddingInlineEnd
paddingInlineEnd
<"" | >

Adjust the inline-end padding.

This overrides the inline-end value of paddingInline.

paddingInlineEnd also accepts a responsive value string with the supported PaddingKeyword as a query value.

Anchor to paddingInlineStart
paddingInlineStart

This overrides the inline-start value of paddingInline.

paddingInlineStart also accepts a responsive value string with the supported PaddingKeyword as a query value.

Anchor to rowGap
rowGap

Anchor to considerationsConsiderations

  • Stack doesn't add any padding by default. If you want padding around your stacked elements, use base to apply the default padding.
  • When spacing becomes limited, Stack will always wrap children to a new line.
