docs	Stacks	Shorthand helpers that build on top of our flexbox utilities to make component layout faster and easier than ever.	helpers	true	version 5.1

Stacks offer a shortcut for applying a number of flexbox properties to quickly and easily create layouts in Bootstrap. All credit for the concept and implementation goes to the open source Pylon project.

{{< callout warning >}} Heads up! Support for gap utilities with flexbox isn't available in Safari prior to 14.5, so consider verifying your intended browser support. Grid layout should have no issues. Read more. {{< /callout >}}

Vertical

Use .vstack to create vertical layouts. Stacked items are full-width by default. Use .gap-* utilities to add space between items.

{{< example class="bd-example-flex" >}}

First item

Second item

Third item

{{< /example >}}

Horizontal

Use .hstack for horizontal layouts. Stacked items are vertically centered by default and only take up their necessary width. Use .gap-* utilities to add space between items.

{{< example class="bd-example-flex" >}}

First item

Second item

Third item

{{< /example >}}

Using horizontal margin utilities like .ms-auto as spacers:

{{< example class="bd-example-flex" >}}

First item

Second item

Third item

{{< /example >}}

And with [vertical rules]({{< docsref "/helpers/vertical-rule" >}}):

{{< example class="bd-example-flex" >}}

First item

Second item

Third item

{{< /example >}}
