Creating a Horizontal Stack

A HStack allows you to arrange subviews horizontally.

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            Text("🍎")
            Text("🍌")
            Text("🍅")
        }
    }
}

Customizing Spacing

Use the spacing parameter to set a custom spacing between subviews of a HStack.

HStack(spacing: 32) {
    Text("🍎")
    Text("🍌")
    Text("🍅")
}

Customizing Alignment

By default, the HStack's alignment is set to the center. You can set the alignment of subviews in a HStack to top, center, or bottom.

HStack(alignment: .top) {
    Text("hello")
    Image(.globe)
    Text("world")
}

HStack(alignment: .center) {
    Text("hello")
    Image(.globe)
    Text("world")
}

HStack(alignment: .bottom) {
    Text("hello")
    Image(.globe)
    Text("world")
}

Combined with Vertical Stack

You can nest a HStack into a VStack and vice-versa as they are all views. This allows you to create more complex layouts.

HStack {
    VStack {
        Text("🍎")
        Text("🍌")
    }
    VStack {
        Text("🍋")
        Text("🍅")
    }
}
