Layout

Row

Lays its children out side by side with an even gap, centered up and down. It is layout only: it replaces the flex items-center gap-2 an agent would otherwise write by hand. stackBelow="sm" stacks the children on a phone.

Recipes

New recipe

Install

Once per app, with Tailwind CSS v4 and an @/* path alias (Ouro HX is built on Base UI, so --base base; skip -t in an existing app):

npx shadcn@latest init --base base --preset nova --yes --no-monorepo
npx shadcn@latest add ourostack/ouro-ui/ouro-base#v1.2.13

Then the component. From v0.8.0 it installs only the helpers it imports and never touches your stylesheet (Installing):

npx shadcn@latest add ourostack/ouro-ui/row#v1.2.13

Or, with the @ouro namespace set up:

npx shadcn@latest add @ouro/ouro-base @ouro/row

Its tests, stories and Playwright spec are optional. They need Vitest 4.1.11 or later, and from v0.8.0 never change a version your app has (Testing):

npx shadcn@latest add ourostack/ouro-ui/row#v1.2.13 ourostack/ouro-ui/row-tests#v1.2.13
import { Row } from "@/components/ouro/stack/row";

Paths use shadcn's default @/ alias; the CLI rewrites them to yours.

Example

<Row justify="between">
  <Heading level={2}>Recipes</Heading>
  <Button href="/recipes/new">New recipe</Button>
</Row>
<Row gap="xs" wrap>{tags.map((tag) => <Badge key={tag}>{tag}</Badge>)}</Row>

Use instead when

  • Use Stack instead for a vertical layout, and Item for a row with media, a title, a description and actions.

Props

Type: RowProps.

align
Type: "start" | "center" | "end" | "stretch" | "baseline"
Default: "center"
Where the children sit up and down the Row. baseline lines up their text.
as
Type: "form" | "div" | "aside" | "fieldset" | "footer" | "header" | "main" | "nav" | "ol" | "section" | "ul"
Default: "div"
The element to render. A ul or ol loses its bullets and indent, a fieldset its border.
children
Type: ReactNode
The children, laid out side by side in writing direction.
className
Type: string
Layout only: margins, width, grid placement (mt-4). Appearance classes warn in development: a Row has no look; use Card for a surface. So do the flex classes the props own: use gap, align, justify, wrap and stackBelow, not gap-*, items-*, justify-*, flex-wrap or max-sm:flex-col.
gap
Type: "sm" | "md" | "lg" | "xl" | "xs" | "none"
Default: "sm"
Space between the children: xs 4px, sm 8px, md 16px, lg 24px, xl 32px.
justify
Type: "start" | "center" | "end" | "between"
Default: "start"
Where the children sit along the Row. between puts the first at the start and the last at the end, as in a toolbar with a title and actions.
ref
Type: Ref<HTMLElement>
Reaches the rendered element.
stackBelow
Type: "sm" | "md"
Below this breakpoint the children stack top to bottom at full width, as a settings row whose actions drop under its text on a phone. sm is 640px, md 768px.
wrap
Type: boolean
Lets the children wrap onto more lines when they don't fit.

Native attributes

Also accepts the attributes in React's HTMLAttributes (id, aria-*, event handlers), passed to the rendered element, except those named on this page.

Don't use

These are not props. Passing one fails the type check with the fix in the error, and in development a console message names the fix.

  • alignItems: Not a prop. Ouro UI uses align: <Row align="start">.
  • direction: Not a prop. Row is horizontal; for a vertical layout use <Stack>.
  • flexWrap: Not a prop. Ouro UI uses wrap: <Row wrap>.
  • justifyContent: Not a prop. Ouro UI uses justify: <Row justify="between">.
  • spacing: Not a prop. Ouro UI uses gap: <Row gap="sm">.

className is for layout only

Pass margins, width and grid placement (mt-4, w-full, col-span-2). Your classes always win over Ouro UI's: Row merges className last with cn (tailwind-merge), so a class that conflicts with its own replaces it.layout-classes

Appearance comes from props, not classes. In development, a class that sets appearance logs one warning per component instance, naming the prop to use instead. A class sets appearance when, after its variants (hover:, sm:) and any ! are removed, it starts with bg-, text-, border-, rounded-, shadow-, font-, ring-, from-, via-, to-, fill- or stroke-, or is border, rounded, shadow or ring, or has a dark: variant. Text wrapping, overflow and table layout classes (text-wrap, text-ellipsis, border-collapse) are layout and do not warn.

Alignment classes (text-center) warn too: use the align prop.
