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

Vertical

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

{{< example >}}

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 >}}

First item

Second item

Third item

{{< /example >}}

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

{{< example >}}

First item

Second item

Third item

{{< /example >}}

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

{{< example >}}

First item

Second item

Third item

{{< /example >}}

Examples

Use .vstack to stack buttons and other elements:

{{< example >}}

Save changes Cancel

{{< /example >}}

Create an inline form with .hstack:

{{< example >}}

Submit

Reset

{{< /example >}}
