Stack
The stack component organizes elements horizontally or vertically along the block or inline axis. Use stack to structure layouts, group related components, control spacing between elements, or create flexible arrangements that adapt to content.
Stacks support gap spacing, alignment, wrapping, and distribution properties to create consistent, responsive layouts without custom CSS. For complex multi-column layouts with precise grid positioning, use grid.
Stack supports one-dimensional layouts only — for content that needs both rows and columns, use grid.

T | `${T} ${T}`SizeUnitsOrNone
Represents size values that can also be set to `none` to remove the size constraint. - `SizeUnits`: Specific size values in pixels, percentages, or zero for precise control. - `none`: No size constraint, allowing unlimited growth. Learn more about the [none value](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/max-width#none).
SizeUnits | "none"PaddingKeyword
Defines the padding size for elements, using the standard size scale or `none` for no padding. - `SizeKeyword`: Standard padding sizes from the size scale for consistent spacing. - `none`: No padding.

Anchor to Best practicesBest practices
- Use smaller gaps for related items: Apply
small-200orsmall-100gaps between tightly related elements like label-value pairs, andbaseor larger gaps between distinct groups. - Keep spacing consistent: Use the same gap value across stacks on the same page for visual harmony.
- Choose stack over grid for linear layouts: Stack handles one-dimensional layouts (a single row or column) more simply than grid. Use grid only when you need rows and columns.
- Set explicit direction: Always specify
direction="inline"ordirection="block"so the layout intent is clear to other developers.
