`marginHorizontal`

Setting marginHorizontal has the same effect as setting both marginLeft and marginRight.

Type	Required
number, ,string	No

`alignContent`

alignContent controls how rows align in the cross direction, overriding the alignContent of the parent. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/align-content for more details.

Type	Required
enum('flex-start', 'flex-end', 'center', 'stretch', 'space-between', 'space-around')	No

`alignSelf`

alignSelf controls how a child aligns in the cross direction, overriding the alignItems of the parent. It works like align-self in CSS (default: auto). See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/align-self for more details.

`aspectRatio`

Aspect ratio control the size of the undefined dimension of a node. Aspect ratio is a non-standard property only available in react native and not CSS.

On a node with a set width/height aspect ratio control the size of the unset dimension
On a node with a set flex basis aspect ratio controls the size of the node in the cross axis if unset
On a node with a measure function aspect ratio works as though the measure function measures the flex basis
On a node with flex grow/shrink aspect ratio controls the size of the node in the cross axis if unset
Aspect ratio takes min/max dimensions into account

`bottom`

bottom is the number of logical pixels to offset the bottom edge of this component.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/bottom for more details of how bottom affects layout.

Type	Required

`display`

display sets the display type of this component.

It works similarly to display in CSS, but only support 'flex' and 'none'. 'flex' is the default.

Type	Required
enum('none', 'flex')	No

`flex`

In React Native flex does not work the same way that it does in CSS. flex is a number rather than a string, and it works according to the Yoga library at https://github.com/facebook/yoga

When flex is a positive number, it makes the component flexible and it will be sized proportional to its flex value. So a component with flex set to 2 will take twice the space as a component with flex set to 1.

When flex is 0, the component is sized according to width and height and it is inflexible.

When flex is -1, the component is normally sized according width and height. However, if there's not enough space, the component will shrink to its minWidth and minHeight.

flexGrow, flexShrink, and flexBasis work the same as in CSS.

Type	Required
number	No

`flexBasis`

Type	Required
number, ,string	No

`flexDirection`

`position`

position in React Native is similar to regular CSS, but everything is set to relative by default, so absolute positioning is always relative to the parent.

If you want to position a child using specific numbers of logical pixels relative to its parent, set the child to have absolute position.

If you want to position a child relative to something that is not its parent, don't use styles for that. Use the component tree.

See https://github.com/facebook/yoga for more details on how position differs between React Native and CSS.

Type	Required
enum('absolute', 'relative')	No

`right`

right is the number of logical pixels to offset the right edge of this component.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/right for more details of how right affects layout.

Type	Required

`zIndex`

zIndex controls which components display on top of others. Normally, you don't use zIndex. Components render according to their order in the document tree, so later components draw over earlier ones. zIndex may be useful if you have animations or custom modal interfaces where you don't want this behavior.

It works like the CSS z-index property - components with a larger zIndex will render on top. Think of the z-direction like it's pointing from the phone into your eyeball. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/z-index for more details.

On iOS, zIndex may require Views to be siblings of each other for it to work as expected.

Type	Required
number	No
