Writing a Layout Composable

Measure children and position them by hand.

Meet the Layout Composable

To build your own arrangement, you reach for the Layout composable. It hands you the raw measure-and-place power directly. 🛠️

Layout accepts your child content plus a measure lambda. The lambda receives the measurables and the constraints to work with.

Layout(content = content,
  modifier = modifier) { measurables, constraints ->
  // measure and place
}
