Usage

Basic horizontal stack

BasicHStackExample.tsx

import { Host, HStack, Text } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function BasicHStackExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <HStack spacing={12}>
        <Text>First</Text>
        <Text>Second</Text>
        <Text>Third</Text>
      </HStack>
    </Host>
  );

With alignment

The alignment prop controls vertical alignment of children. Available options are: top, center, bottom, firstTextBaseline, and lastTextBaseline.

import { frame } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui/modifiers';

export default function HStackAlignmentExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <HStack spacing={12} alignment="top">
        <Rectangle modifiers={[frame({ width: 50, height: 50 })]} />
        <Rectangle modifiers={[frame({ width: 50, height: 100 })]} />
