## Space Even though we have [Divider](#/en-US/component/divider), but sometimes we need more than one [Divider](#/en-US/component/divider) to split the elements apart, so we stack each elements upon [Divider](#/en-US/component/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 :::demo Using Space to provide space ```html ``` ::: ### Vertical layout Using `direction` attribute to control the layout, we use `flex-direction` to implement this. :::demo We also provide vertical layout. ```html ``` ::: ### Control the size of the space Control the space size via `size` API. You can set the size with built-in sizes `mini`, `small`, `medium`, `large`, these size coresponds to `4px`, `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. :::demo ```html ``` ::: ### 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. :::demo ```html ``` ::: :::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. :::demo Using `wrap` to control line wrap ```html

``` ::: ### Spacer Sometimes we want something more than blank space, so we have (spacer) to help us. #### Literal type spacer :::demo ```html ``` ::: #### Spacer can also be VNode :::demo ```html ``` ::: ### Alignment Setting this attribute can adjust the alignment of child nodes, the desirable value can be found at [align-items](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/align-items). :::demo Using `alignment` ```html ``` ::: ### 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. :::demo Use fill to automatically fill the container with child nodes ```html ``` ::: 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. :::demo Use fillRatio to customize the fill ratio ```html ``` ::: ### Space Attributes | Attribute | Description | Type | Available value | Default | | --------- | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | | alignment | Controls the alignment of items | string | [align-items](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/align-items) | 'center' | | class | Classname | string / Array
