layout String (default: '')

Specify the layout of listview content. Valid options are:

  • flex: This is equivalent to display: flex. It defines a flex container and enables a flex context for all its direct children. Think of flex items as primarily laying out either in horizontal rows or vertical columns.
  • grid: This is equivalent to display: grid. It defines the element as a grid container and establishes a new grid formatting context for its contents.

Note: Flex and grid layout are supporteed only on modern browsers. Even so, not all browsers that support flex and grid layout, support all features.
