## When To Use

- Avoid components clinging together and set a unified space.
- Use Space.Compact when child form components are compactly connected and the border is collapsed (After version `antd@4.24.0` Supported).

### Difference with Flex component

- Space is used to set the spacing between inline elements. It will add a wrapper element for each child element for inline alignment. Suitable for equidistant arrangement of multiple child elements in rows and columns.
- Flex is used to set the layout of block-level elements. It does not add a wrapper element. Suitable for layout of child elements in vertical or horizontal direction, and provides more flexibility and control.

## Examples

### Basic Usage

Crowded components horizontal spacing.

```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { UploadOutlined } from '@ant-design/icons';
import { Button, Popconfirm, Space, Upload } from 'antd';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Space>
    Space
    <Button type="primary">Button</Button>
    <Upload>
      <Button icon={<UploadOutlined />}>Click to Upload</Button>
    </Upload>
    <Popconfirm title="Are you sure delete this task?" okText="Yes" cancelText="No">
      <Button>Confirm</Button>
    </Popconfirm>
  </Space>
);

export default App;
```

### Vertical Space

Crowded components vertical spacing.

```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Card, Space } from 'antd';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Space orientation="vertical" size="middle" style={{ display: 'flex' }}>
    <Card title="Card" size="small">
      <p>Card content</p>
      <p>Card content</p>
    </Card>
    <Card title="Card" size="small">
      <p>Card content</p>
      <p>Card content</p>
    </Card>
    <Card title="Card" size="small">
      <p>Card content</p>
      <p>Card content</p>
    </Card>
  </Space>
);

export default App;
```

### Space Size

Use `size` to set the spacing, Three sizes are preset: `small`, `middle`, `large`. You can also customize the spacing. If `size` is not set, the spacing is `small`.

```tsx
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { Button, Radio, Slider, Space } from 'antd';
import type { ConfigProviderProps } from 'antd';

type SizeType = ConfigProviderProps['componentSize'];

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const [size, setSize] = useState<SizeType | [SizeType, SizeType] | 'customize'>('small');
  const [customSize, setCustomSize] = React.useState<number>(0);
  return (
    <>
      <Radio.Group value={size} onChange={(e) => setSize(e.target.value)}>
        {['small', 'middle', 'large', 'customize'].map((item) => (
          <Radio key={item} value={item}>
            {item}
          </Radio>
        ))}
      </Radio.Group>
      <br />
      <br />
      {size === 'customize' && (
        <>
          <Slider value={customSize} onChange={setCustomSize} />
          <br />
        </>
      )}
      <Space size={size !== 'customize' ? size : customSize}>
        <Button type="primary">Primary</Button>
        <Button>Default</Button>
        <Button type="dashed">Dashed</Button>
        <Button type="link">Link</Button>
      </Space>
    </>
  );
};

export default App;
```

### Align

Config item align.

```css
.space-align-container {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  align-items: flex-start;
}
.space-align-block {
  flex: none;
  margin: 8px 4px;
  padding: 4px;
  border: 1px solid #40a9ff;
}
.space-align-block .mock-block {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 32px 8px 16px;
  background: rgba(150, 150, 150, 0.2);
}
```

```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Button, Space } from 'antd';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <div className="space-align-container">
    <div className="space-align-block">
      <Space align="center">
        center
        <Button type="primary">Primary</Button>
        <span className="mock-block">Block</span>
      </Space>
    </div>
    <div className="space-align-block">
      <Space align="start">
        start
        <Button type="primary">Primary</Button>
        <span className="mock-block">Block</span>
      </Space>
    </div>
    <div className="space-align-block">
      <Space align="end">
        end
        <Button type="primary">Primary</Button>
        <span className="mock-block">Block</span>
      </Space>
    </div>
    <div className="space-align-block">
      <Space align="baseline">
        baseline
        <Button type="primary">Primary</Button>
        <span className="mock-block">Block</span>
      </Space>
    </div>
  </div>
);

export default App;
```

### Wrap

Auto wrap line.

```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Button, Space } from 'antd';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Space size={[8, 16]} wrap>
    {Array.from({ length: 20 }).map((_, index) => (
      // eslint-disable-next-line react/no-array-index-key
      <Button key={index}>Button</Button>
    ))}
  </Space>
);

export default App;
```

### separator

Crowded components separator.

```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Divider, Space, Typography } from 'antd';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Space separator={<Divider vertical />}>
    <Typography.Link>Link</Typography.Link>
    <Typography.Link>Link</Typography.Link>
    <Typography.Link>Link</Typography.Link>
  </Space>
);

export default App;
```

### Vertical Compact Mode

Vertical Mode for Space.Compact, support Button only.

```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Button, Space } from 'antd';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Space>
    <Space.Compact orientation="vertical">
      <Button>Button 1</Button>
      <Button>Button 2</Button>
      <Button>Button 3</Button>
    </Space.Compact>
    <Space.Compact orientation="vertical">
      <Button type="dashed">Button 1</Button>
      <Button type="dashed">Button 2</Button>
      <Button type="dashed">Button 3</Button>
    </Space.Compact>
    <Space.Compact orientation="vertical">
      <Button type="primary">Button 1</Button>
      <Button type="primary">Button 2</Button>
      <Button type="primary">Button 3</Button>
    </Space.Compact>
    <Space.Compact orientation="vertical">

      <Button variant="outlined">Button 3</Button>
    </Space.Compact>
  </Space>
);

export default App;
```





### Custom semantic dom styling

You can customize the [semantic dom](#semantic-dom) style of Space by passing objects/functions through `classNames` and `styles`.

```tsx
import * as React from 'react';
import { Button, Space } from 'antd';
import type { SpaceProps } from 'antd';

const classNamesObject: SpaceProps['classNames'] = {
  root: 'demo-space-root',
  item: 'demo-space-item',
  separator: 'demo-space-separator',
};

const classNamesFn: SpaceProps['classNames'] = (info) => {
  if (info.props.orientation === 'vertical') {
    return {
      root: 'demo-space-root--vertical',
    } satisfies SpaceProps['classNames'];
  } else {
    return {
      root: 'demo-space-root--horizontal',
    } satisfies SpaceProps['classNames'];
  }
};

const stylesObject: SpaceProps['styles'] = {
  root: { borderWidth: 2, borderStyle: 'dashed', padding: 8, marginBottom: 10 },
  item: { backgroundColor: '#f0f0f0', padding: 4 },
  separator: { color: 'red', fontWeight: 'bold' },
};

const stylesFn: SpaceProps['styles'] = (info) => {
  if (info.props.size === 'large') {
    return {
      root: {
        backgroundColor: '#e6f7ff',
        borderColor: '#1890ff',
        padding: 8,
      },
    } satisfies SpaceProps['styles'];
