`YogaNode` is the main object you will be interfacing with when using Yoga in .NET. `YogaNode` is a thin [P/Invoke](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446536.aspx) wrapper around the core Yoga library.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Lifecycle
|
||
|
|
||
|
Create a `YogaNode` via its default constructor or the static `Create()` builder method and use `Reset` if you want to pool and re-use nodes. The native memory of a `YogaNode` will automatically be freed when the node is garbage collected.

### Children
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following methods help manage the children of a node.

### Style getters & setters
|
||
|
|
||
|
The large part of Yoga's API consists of properties, setters, and getters for styles. These all follow the same general structure. Bellow are the function and enums used to control the various styles. For an in depth guide to how each style works see the getting started guide.

### Layout results
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once you have set up a tree of nodes with styles you will want to get the result of a layout calculation. Call `CalculateLayout()` perform layout calculation. Once this function returns the results of the layout calculation is stored on each node. Traverse the tree and retrieve the values from each node.

### Custom measurements
|
||
|
|
||
|
Certain nodes need to ability to measure themselves, the most common example is nodes which represent text. Text has an intrinsic size and requires measuring itself to determine that size. This is not something Yoga can do as it requires relying on the host system's text rendering engine.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Call `MarkDirty()` if a node with a custom text measurement function needs to be re-measured during the next layout pass.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> A measure function can only be attached to a leaf node in the hierarchy.

|
### Data
|
||
|
|
||
|
Data is important when integrating Yoga into another layout system. Data allows you to associate another object with a `YogaNode`. This data can then be retrieved from a `YogaNode` when for example its measure function is called. This is what enables Yoga to rely on the Android system implementations of text measurement in React Native.

### Experiments
|
||
|
|
||
|
Yoga has the concept of experiments. An experiment is a feature which is not yet stable. To enable a feature use the following functions. Once a feature has been tested and is ready to be released as a stable API we will remove its feature flag.
