Detailed Description

Represents a FlexBox container, which contains and manages the layout of a set of FlexItem objects.

To use this class, set its parameters appropriately (you can search online for more help on exactly how the FlexBox protocol works!), then add your sub-items to the items array, and call performLayout() in the resized() function of your Component.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FlexBox() [1/3]

FlexBox::FlexBox ( )
noexcept

Creates an empty FlexBox container with default parameters.

◆ FlexBox() [2/3]

FlexBox::FlexBox ( Direction  ,
Wrap  ,
AlignContent  ,
AlignItems  ,
JustifyContent   
)
noexcept

Creates an empty FlexBox container with these parameters.

◆ FlexBox() [3/3]

FlexBox::FlexBox ( JustifyContent  )

FlexBox::~FlexBox ( )
noexcept

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ performLayout() [1/2]

void FlexBox::performLayout ( Rectangle< float >  targetArea)

Lays-out the box's items within the given rectangle.

◆ performLayout() [2/2]

void FlexBox::performLayout ( Rectangle< int targetArea)

Lays-out the box's items within the given rectangle.

Member Data Documentation

◆ flexDirection

Direction FlexBox::flexDirection = Direction::row

Specifies how flex items are placed in the flex container, and defines the direction of the main axis.

◆ flexWrap

Wrap FlexBox::flexWrap = Wrap::noWrap

Specifies whether items are forced into a single line or can be wrapped onto multiple lines.

If wrapping is allowed, this property also controls the direction in which lines are stacked.

◆ alignContent

AlignContent FlexBox::alignContent = AlignContent::stretch

Specifies how a flex container's lines are placed within the flex container when there is extra space on the cross-axis.

This property has no effect on single line layouts.

◆ alignItems

AlignItems FlexBox::alignItems = AlignItems::stretch

Specifies the alignment of flex items along the cross-axis of each line.

◆ justifyContent

JustifyContent FlexBox::justifyContent = JustifyContent::flexStart

Defines how the container distributes space between and around items along the main-axis.

The alignment is done after the lengths and auto margins are applied, so that if there is at least one flexible element, with flex-grow different from 0, it will have no effect as there won't be any available space.

◆ items

Array<FlexItem> FlexBox::items

The set of items to lay-out.
