# Layout

Quickly and easily create layouts with the basic 24-column.

:::tip

The component uses flex layout by default, no need to set `type="flex"` manually.

Please note that the parent container should avoid using `inline` related styles,
which will cause the component to not fill up its width.

:::demo With `row` and `col`, we can easily manipulate the layout using the `span` attribute.
