The FlexDirection property controls the direction in which children are laid out. There are 4 options, of which 2 are commonly used:

  • Column (default)
  • Row
  • ColumnReverse
  • RowReverse

The Column option stacks children vertically from top to bottom, and the Row option stacks children from left to right. The Reverse variants of the options reverse the order. If your layout supports right-to-left direction, Yoga will automatically toggle between Row and RowReverse as necessary.

FlexDirection introduces another important aspect of Flexbox, the main and cross axes. This is important as other properties will reference which axis they operate on. Simply put, the main axis follows the FlexDirection and the cross axis crosses the main axis at a 90 degree angle.

FlexDirection = Row

In this example the main axis goes from the left to the right. The cross axis goes from the top to the bottom.

FlexDirection = Column

In this example the main axis goes from the top to the bottom. The cross axis goes from the left to the right.
