Column: Stack Things Vertically

Lay out children top to bottom.

Stacking Vertically

When you want children to sit top to bottom, you reach for Column. It is Compose's go-to layout for vertical stacks. 📚

A Column takes a trailing lambda. Every Composable you call inside it becomes a child, drawn in the order you write them.

Column {
    Text("First")
    Text("Second")
}
