Props

Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Description
children	node	The content of the component.
component	elementType	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
direction	'column-reverse' \| 'column' \| 'row-reverse' \| 'row' \| Array<'column-reverse' \| 'column' \| 'row-reverse' \| 'row'> \| object	Defines the `flex-direction` style property. It is applied for all screen sizes.
divider	node	Add an element between each child.
spacing	Array<number \| string> \| number \| object \| string	Defines the space between immediate children.
sx	Array<func \| object \| bool> \| func \| object	The system prop, which allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the `sx` page for more details.
useFlexGap	bool	If `true`, the CSS flexbox `gap` is used instead of applying `margin` to children. While CSS `gap` removes the known limitations, it is not fully supported in some browsers. We recommend checking https://caniuse.com/?search=flex%20gap before using this flag. To enable this flag globally, follow the theme's default props configuration.

As a CSS utility, the Stack component also supports all system properties. You can use them as props directly on the component.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Theme default props

You can use JoyStack to change the default props of this component with the theme.

Slots

To learn how to customize the slot, check out the Overriding component structure guide.

Name	Default class	Default HTML tag	Description
root	.MuiStack-root	'div'	The component that renders the root.

You can override the style of the component using one of these customization options:

With a global class name.
With a rule name as part of the component's styleOverrides property in a custom theme.
