A layout spacer that produces empty space between siblings inside a Row or Column. Use size for a fixed gap, or flexible to fill the remaining main-axis space.

Installation

If you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo in your project.

Usage

Fixed-size spacer

import { Host, Column, Text, Spacer } from '@expo/ui';

export default function FixedSpacerExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Column>
        <Text>Top</Text>
        <Spacer size={32} />
        <Text>Bottom</Text>
      </Column>
    </Host>
  );
}

Flexible spacer

A flexible spacer fills the remaining space along its parent's main axis, pushing the surrounding content to opposite ends.

import { Host, Row, Text, Spacer } from '@expo/ui';

export default function FlexibleSpacerExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <Row>
        <Text>Leading</Text>
        <Spacer flexible />
        <Text>Trailing</Text>
      </Row>
    </Host>
  );
}
