useFlexGap

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.

Type:bool


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 MuiStack to change the default props of this component with the theme.
