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 accessibilityLabelaccessibilityLabelstring
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 useful-forUseful for
- Placing items in rows or columns when sections don't work for your layout.
- Controlling the spacing between elements.
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.
Anchor to best-practicesBest practices
- Use smaller gaps between small elements and larger gaps between big ones.
- Maintain consistent spacing in stacks across all pages of your app.
