FlexDirection

public class FlexDirection @PublishedApi internal constructor(private val bits: Int)

Properties

Row

public inline val Row: FlexDirection

The main axis is horizontal. Items are placed starting from the main-start edge and flowing toward the main-end edge.

In a Left-To-Right (LTR) layout direction, main-start corresponds to the start (left) edge of the container. In a Right-To-Left (RTL) layout direction, main-start corresponds to the end (right).

Column

public inline val Column: FlexDirection

The main axis is vertical. Items are placed starting from the main-start edge (the top of the container) and flowing toward the main-end edge (the bottom).

RowReverse

public inline val RowReverse: FlexDirection

The main axis is horizontal, but the placement direction is reversed. The main-start and main-end edges are swapped.

In a Left-To-Right (LTR) layout direction, main-start becomes the right edge of the container, and items flow leftward. In a Right-To-Left (RTL) layout direction, main-start becomes the left edge.

ColumnReverse

public inline val ColumnReverse: FlexDirection

The main axis is vertical, but the placement direction is reversed. The main-start edge becomes the bottom of the container, and items flow toward the main-end edge at the top.
