📚 Component Overview

HStack

Horizontally arranges children using flex-row and space-x-{spacing}.

<HStack spacing="4" className="bg-white">
  <div>Left</div>
  <div>Center</div>
  <div>Right</div>
</HStack>

VStack

Vertically arranges children using flex-col and space-y-{spacing}.

<VStack spacing="6">
  <div>Title</div>
  <div>Description</div>
</VStack>

Stack

Similar to VStack but aligns items with items-start.

<Stack spacing="3">
  <div>Item A</div>
  <div>Item B</div>
</Stack>

ZStack

Stacks elements on top of each other with relative and absolute positioning.

<ZStack className="h-48">
  <div className="bg-blue-100" />
  <div className="bg-blue-300" />
</ZStack>

Spacer

Fills available space inside a flex container, equivalent to <div className="flex-1" />.

<HStack>
  <div>Left</div>
  <Spacer />
  <div>Right</div>
</HStack>

🧩 Export

You can import components individually or via the default export:

import LayoutStack from "layout-stack";
// or
import { HStack, VStack, Stack, ZStack, Spacer } from "layout-stack";

🛠️ Notes for Developers
