Layouts, Modifiers & Theming

Build adaptive shared screens with Material.

Three Layout Building Blocks

Almost every screen is built from Column, Row and Box. Column stacks children vertically, Row places them side by side, Box layers them.

Column {
    Text("Top")
    Text("Bottom")
}

A Row arranges its children horizontally. Reach for it when you want a label and a value, or an icon next to text, on one line.

Row {
    Text("Price:")
    Text("$9")
}
