3.1 Flexbox

1.Flexbox layout

The main idea behind the flex layout is to give the container the ability to alter its items' width/height (and order) to best fill the available space (mostly to accommodate to all kind of display devices and screen sizes). A flex container expands items to fill available free space, or shrinks them to prevent overflow.

2.flex:1

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1
  },
  header: {
    height: 200,
    backgroundColor: 'red'
  },
  main: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: 'blue'
  },
  footer: {
    height: 200,
    backgroundColor: 'green'
  },
  text: {
    color: '#ffffff',
    fontSize: 80
  }
});

3.flexDirection:'row'|'column'

4.justifyContent:'flex-start'|'flex-end'|'center'|'space-between'|'space-around'

5.alignItems:'flex-start'|'flex-end'|'center'|'stretch'

6.alignSelf:'auto'|'flex-start'|'flex-end'|'center'|'stretch'

7.flexWrap:'wrap'|'nowrap'

8.Box model

width = borderLeftWidth(25)+paddingLeft(25)+100+borderRightWidth(25)+paddingRight(25)=200

height = borderTopWidth(25)+paddingTop(25)+100+borderBottomWidth(25)+paddingBottom(25)=200

class Main extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <View style={styles.header}>
