FlexLayout

Custom layout to help layout child widgets using flex layout.

This class is a JS wrapper around custom Qt layout implemented using Yoga

A FlexLayout can be used to layout all child NodeGui widgets using flex.

FlexLayout inherits from NodeLayout

#Example

const { FlexLayout, QWidget, QLabel } = require("@nodegui/nodegui");
const view = new QWidget();
const layout = new FlexLayout();
view.setLayout(layout);
const label = new QLabel();
label.setText("label1");
const label2 = new QLabel();
label2.setText("label2");
layout.addWidget(label);
layout.addWidget(label2);
Copy

#Static Methods

FlexLayout can access all the static methods defined in NodeLayout

#Instance Properties

FlexLayout can access all the instance properties defined in NodeLayout

#Instance Methods

FlexLayout can access all the instance methods defined in NodeLayout

Additionally it also has the following instance methods:

#layout.addWidget(childWidget, childFlexNode?)

Adds the childWidget to the layout. It calls the native method of custom FlexLayout.

• childWidget NodeWidget - child widget that needs to be added to the layout.
• childFlexNode flexNode ref (Optional) - flexNode reference of the child widget. You can get this by calling childWidget.getFlexNode().

#layout.insertChildBefore(childWidget, beforeChildWidget, childFlexNode?, beforeChildFlexNode?)

Adds the childWidget before another already set childWidget in the layout. It calls the native method of custom FlexLayout.

• childWidget NodeWidget - child widget that needs to be added to the layout.
• beforeChildWidget NodeWidget - the widget before which the childWidget needs to be added in the layout.
• childFlexNode flexNode ref (Optional) - flexNode reference of the child widget. You can get this by calling childWidget.getFlexNode().
• beforeChildFlexNode flexNode ref (Optional) - flexNode reference of the before child widget. You can get this by calling beforeChildWidget.getFlexNode().

#layout.removeWidget(childWidget, childFlexNode?)

Removes the childWidget from the layout. It calls the native method of custom FlexLayout.

• childWidget NodeWidget - child widget that needs to be added to the layout.
• childFlexNode flexNode ref (Optional) - flexNode reference of the child widget. You can get this by calling childWidget.getFlexNode().

#layout.setFlexNode(flexNode)

A layout doesnt have its own flexNode. This method sets the flex Node to use for calculating position of the child widgets. Hence this should be always equal to the flex node of widget for which this layout is set. This is called internally by widget.setLayout.

• flexNode flexNode ref - flexNode reference of the widget for which this layout is set. You can get this by calling widget.getFlexNode().
