Space
Even though we have Divider, but sometimes we need more than one Divider to split the elements apart, so we stack each elements upon Divider, but doing so not only makes our code ugly but also makes it difficult to maintain. Space is this kind of component provides us both productivity and elegance.
Basic usage
The basic use case is using this component to provide unified space between each components
Vertical layout
Using direction
attribute to control the layout, we use flex-direction
to implement this.
Control the size of the space
Control the space size via size
API.
You can set the size with built-in sizes small
, default
, large
, these size coresponds to 8px
, 12px
, 16px
. The default size is small
, A.K.A. 8px
You can also using customized size to override it. Refer to the next part.
Customized Size
Sometimes built-in sizes could not meet the business needs, we can use custom size (number type) to control the space between items.
TIP
Do not use ElSpace
with components that depend on ancestor width (height), e.g. ElSlider
, in this case when you drag the trigger button the bar will grow which causes misplacement between cursor and trigger button.
Auto wrapping
When in horizontal mode, using wrap
(bool type) to control auto wrapping behavior.
Spacer
Sometimes we want something more than blank space, so we have (spacer) to help us.
Literal type spacer
Spacer can also be VNode
Alignment
Setting this attribute can adjust the alignment of child nodes, the desirable value can be found at align-items.
Fill the container
Through the fill
(Boolean type) parameter, you can control whether the child node automatically fills the container.
In the following example, when set to fill
, the width of the child node will automatically adapt to the width of the container.
You can also use the fillRatio
parameter to customize the filling ratio. The default value is 100
, which represents filling based on the width of the parent container at 100%
.
It should be noted that the expression of horizontal layout and vertical layout is slightly different, the specific effect can be viewed in the following example.
