Stack is a flexible UI component that groups and organizes components vertically or horizontally.
Stacks automatically manage spacing and alignment between child elements and allow an indefinite number of components within them.

Select the Stack: Select the Stack component from the component panel. Click on the Stack component within your layout where you want to add child components.
Add Component: In the hierarchy panel, click on the "
Add Component
" button next to the selected Stack.Choose Child Components: From the component panel, choose the desired components you want to add as children to the Stack. You can select multiple components such as
images
,text
,buttons
, orother
UI components.

of the child components within it.
Below are the key properties you can configure, along with their descriptions.
Property | Description |

| Add space inside the Stack's border to create separation between the content and the border. Options typically include none, small, medium, and large. |
| Set the outer space around the Stack to create distance between it and surrounding elements. Options typically include none, small, medium, and large. |
| Control whether child components should wrap onto multiple lines or remain on a single line. Options include No Wrap and Wrap. |

Best Practices
Use Stacks for Simplicity: When you need a straightforward layout of components, use the Stack component for simplicity and ease of maintenance.
Combine with Other Layout Components: Use Stacks in combination with Containers and Cards to create more complex and structured layouts.
Consistent Spacing: Utilize the Gap property to ensure consistent spacing between elements, providing a cleaner look.
