# View
View is a generic container component. Its contents will always be their “natural” size, so this component can be useful in layout components (like `Grid`, `BlockStack`, `InlineStack`) that would otherwise stretch their children to fit.
### Basic View

```tsx
import {
  reactExtension,
  View,
} from '@shopify/ui-extensions-react/checkout';

export default reactExtension(
  'purchase.checkout.block.render',
  () => <Extension />,
);

function Extension() {
  return (
    <View padding="base" border="base">
      View
    </View>
  );
}

```

```js
import {extension, View} from '@shopify/ui-extensions/checkout';

export default extension('purchase.checkout.block.render', (root) => {
  const view = root.createComponent(
    View,
    {border: 'base', padding: 'base'},
    'View',
  );

  root.appendChild(view);
});

```


## ViewProps

### ViewProps

### display
Changes the display of the View.


`inline` follows the direction of words in a sentence based on the document’s writing mode.

`block` follows the direction of paragraphs based on the document’s writing mode.
### id
A unique identifier for the View.
### opacity
Sets the opacity of the View. The opacity will be applied to the background as well as all
the children of the View. Use carefully as this could decrease the contrast ratio between
the background and foreground elements, resulting in unreadable and inaccessible text.
### accessibilityLabel
A label that describes the purpose or contents of the element. When set,
it will be announced to buyers using assistive technologies and will
provide them with more context.
### accessibilityRole
Sets the semantic meaning of the component’s content. When set,
the role will be used by assistive technologies to help buyers
navigate the page.


For example:

- In an HTML host a `['listItem', 'separator']` tuple will render: `<li role='separator'>`

- In an HTML host a `listItem` string will render: `<li>`
### position
Changes how the View is positioned.
### translate
Specifies a two-dimensional translation of the View.
### blockAlignment
Position children along the cross axis
### inlineAlignment
Position children along the main axis
### inlineSize
Adjust the inline size.

`fill`: takes all the available space.
### overflow
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.

`visible`: the content that extends beyond the element’s container is visible.
### border
Adjust the border style.

To shorten the code, it is possible to specify all the border style properties in one property.

For example:

- `base` means blockStart, inlineEnd, blockEnd and inlineStart border styles are `base`

- `['base', 'none']` means blockStart and blockEnd border styles are `base`, inlineStart and inlineEnd border styles are `none`

- `['base', 'none', 'dotted', 'base']` means blockStart border style is `base`, inlineEnd border style is `none`, blockEnd border style is `dotted` and  blockStart border style is `base`
### borderWidth
Adjust the border width.

To shorten the code, it is possible to specify all the border width properties in one property.

For example:

- `base` means blockStart, inlineEnd, blockEnd and inlineStart border widths are `base`

- `['base', 'medium']` means blockStart and blockEnd border widths are `base`, inlineStart and inlineEnd border widths are `medium`

- `['base', 'medium', 'medium', 'base']` means blockStart border width is `base`, inlineEnd border width is `medium`, blockEnd border width is `medium` and  blockStart border width is `base`
### borderRadius

### cornerRadius
Adjust the corner radius.

Provide a single value to apply the same corner radius to all four corners, two values to apply different corner radii to opposing corners, or four values to apply different corner radii to each individual corner.

For example:

- `base` means all 4 corner radii are `base`

- `['base', 'none']` means the StartStart and EndEnd corner radii are `base`, StartEnd and EndStart corner radii are `none`.
   When the context’s language direction is left to right, StartStart and EndEnd corners are the top left and bottom right corners
   while StartEnd and EndStart corners are the top right and bottom left corners.

- `['base', 'none', 'small', 'base']` means StartStart corner radius is `base`, StartEnd corner radius is `none`, EndEnd corner radius is `small` and  EndStart corner radius is `base`

A `borderRadius` alias is available for this property. When both are specified, `cornerRadius` takes precedence.
### maxBlockSize
Adjust the maximum block size.

`number`: size in pixels.

`` `${number}%` ``: size in percentages.

`fill`: takes all the available space.
### maxInlineSize
Adjust the maximum inline size.

`number`: size in pixels.

`` `${number}%` ``: size in percentages.

`fill`: takes all the available space.
### minInlineSize
Adjust the minimum inline size.

`number`: size in pixels.

`` `${number}%` ``: size in percentages.

`fill`: takes all the available space.
### minBlockSize
Adjust the block size.

`number`: size in pixels.

`` `${number}%` ``: size in percentages.

`fill`: takes all the available space.
### padding
Adjust the padding.

To shorten the code, it is possible to specify all the padding properties in one property.


Examples:

- `base` means blockStart, inlineEnd, blockEnd and inlineStart paddings are `base`

- [`base`, `none`] means blockStart and blockEnd paddings are `base`, inlineStart and inlineEnd paddings are `none`

- [`base`, `none`, `loose`, `tight`] means blockStart padding is `base`, inlineEnd padding is `none`, blockEnd padding is `loose` and  blockStart padding is `tight`
### visibility
Changes the visibility of the element.

`hidden` visually hides the component while keeping it accessible
to assistive technology, such as screen readers.
Hidden elements don't take any visual space contrary to CSS visibility: hidden;
### accessibilityVisibility
Changes the visibility of the element to assistive technologies.

`hidden` hides the component from assistive technology (for example,
a screen reader) but remains visually visible.

### MaybeResponsiveConditionalStyle
A type that represents a value that can be a conditional style. The conditions are based on the viewport size.
We highly recommend using the `Style` helper which simplifies the creation of conditional styles.

To learn more check out the [conditional styles](/api/checkout-ui-extensions/components/utilities/stylehelper) documentation.
