Space (Translation needed)

Even though we have Divider, but sometimes we need more than one Divider to split the elements apart, so we stack each elements upon 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

<template>
  <el-space wrap>
    <el-card class="box-card" style="width: 250px" v-for="i in 3" :key="i">
      <template #header>
        <div class="clearfix">
          <span>Card name</span>
          <el-button style="float: right; padding: 3px 0" type="text"
            >Operation button</el-button
          >
        </div>
      </template>
      <div v-for="o in 4" :key="o" class="text item">
        {{ 'List item ' + o }}
      </div>
    </el-card>
  </el-space>
</template>

:::

Vertical layout

Using direction attribute to control the layout, we use flex-direction to implement this.

:::demo We also provide vertical layout.

<template>
  <el-space direction="vertical">
    <el-card class="box-card" style="width: 250px" v-for="i in 2" :key="i">
      <template #header>
        <div class="clearfix">
          <span>Card name</span>
          <el-button style="float: right; padding: 3px 0" type="text"
            >Operation button</el-button
          >
        </div>
      </template>
      <div v-for="o in 4" :key="o" class="text item">
        {{ 'List item ' + o }}
      </div>
    </el-card>
  </el-space>
</template>

:::

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

<template>
  <el-space direction="vertical" alignment="start" :size="30">
  <el-radio-group v-model="size">
    <el-radio :label="'mini'">mini</el-radio>
    <el-radio :label="'small'">small</el-radio>
    <el-radio :label="'medium'">medium</el-radio>
    <el-radio :label="'large'">large</el-radio>
  </el-radio-group>

  <el-space wrap :size="size">
    <el-card class="box-card" style="width: 250px" v-for="i in 3" :key="i">
      <template #header>
        <div class="clearfix">
          <span>Card name</span>
          <el-button style="float: right; padding: 3px 0" type="text"
            >Operation button</el-button
          >
        </div>
      </template>
      <div v-for="o in 4" :key="o" class="text item">
        {{ 'List item ' + o }}
      </div>
    </el-card>
  </el-space>
  </el-space>
</template>

<script>

export default {

  data() {
    return {
      size: 'mini',
    }
  }
}
</script>

:::

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

<template>
  <el-slider v-model="size" />
  <el-space wrap :size="size">
    <el-card class="box-card" style="width: 250px" v-for="i in 2" :key="i">
      <template #header>
        <div class="clearfix">
          <span>Card name</span>
          <el-button style="float: right; padding: 3px 0" type="text"
            >Operation button</el-button
          >
        </div>
      </template>
      <div v-for="o in 4" :key="o" class="text item">
        {{ 'List item ' + o }}
      </div>
    </el-card>
  </el-space>
</template>

<script>
export default {

  data() {
    return {
      size: 20,
    }
  }
}
</script>

:::

:::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

<el-space wrap>
  <div v-for="i in 20" :key="i">
    <el-button type="text">
      Text button
    </el-button>
  </div>
</el-space>

:::

Spacer

Sometimes we want something more than blank space, so we have (spacer) to help us.

Literal type spacer

:::demo

<template>
 <el-space :size="size" spacer="|">
    <div v-for="i in 2" :key="i">
      <el-button>
        button {{ i }}
      </el-button>
    </div>
  </el-space>
</template>

<script>

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      size: 10,
    }
  },
}
</script>

:::

Spacer can also be VNode

:::demo

<template>
 <el-space :size="size" :spacer="spacer">
    <div v-for="i in 2" :key="i">
      <el-button>
        button {{ i }}
      </el-button>
    </div>
  </el-space>
</template>

<script>
import { h, resolveComponent } from 'vue'
import { ElDivider } from 'element-plus'
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      size: 10,
      spacer: h(ElDivider, { direction: 'vertical' }),
    }
  },
}
</script>

:::

Alignment

Setting this attribute can adjust the alignment of child nodes, the desirable value can be found at align-items.

:::demo Using alignment

<template>
  <div style="width: 240px;margin-bottom: 20px;padding: 8px;border: 1px solid #ccc;">
    <el-space>
      string
      <el-button>
        button
      </el-button>
      <el-card>
        <template #header>
          header
        </template>
        body
      </el-card>
    </el-space>
  </div>
  <div style="width: 240px;margin-bottom: 20px;padding: 8px;border: 1px solid #ccc;">
    <el-space alignment="flex-start">
      string
      <el-button>
        button
      </el-button>
      <el-card>
        <template #header>
          header
        </template>
        body
      </el-card>
    </el-space>
  </div>
  <div style="width: 240px;margin-bottom: 20px;padding: 8px;border: 1px solid #ccc;">
    <el-space alignment="flex-end">
      string
      <el-button>
        button
      </el-button>
      <el-card>
        <template #header>
          header
        </template>
        body
      </el-card>
    </el-space>
  </div>
</template>
