# Layout Spacing | ||
|
||
Our design system provides a set of spacing tokens for consistent layouts and components. Some tokens share values but should be used semantically. For instance, while both `tags` and `buttons` are 0.75rem, `buttons` should be used for spacing between buttons. | ||
|
||
## Tokens | ||
|
||
| Key | Value | Value in pixels | | ||
| ----------------- | -------- | --------------- | | ||
| space0 | 0rem | 0px | | ||
| space2 | 0.125rem | 2px | | ||
| space4 | 0.25rem | 4px | | ||
| space8 | 0.5rem | 8px | | ||
| space12 | 0.75rem | 12px | | ||
| space16 | 1rem | 16px | | ||
| space24 | 1.5rem | 24px | | ||
| space36 | 2.25rem | 36px | | ||
| space48 | 3rem | 48px | | ||
| space60 | 3.75rem | 60px | | ||
| sections | 2.25rem | 36px | | ||
| sectionElements | 1.5em | 24px | | ||
| trayElements | 1.5em | 24px | | ||
| modalElements | 1.5em | 24px | | ||
| moduleElements | 1em | 16px | | ||
| paddingCardLarge | 1.5rem | 24px | | ||
| paddingCardMedium | 1rem | 16px | | ||
| paddingCardSmall | 0.75rem | 12px | | ||
| selects | 1rem | 16px | | ||
| textAreas | 1rem | 16px | | ||
| inputFields | 1rem | 16px | | ||
| checkboxes | 1rem | 16px | | ||
| radios | 1rem | 16px | | ||
| toggles | 1rem | 16px | | ||
| buttons | 0.75rem | 12px | | ||
| tags | 0.75rem | 12px | | ||
| statusIndicators | 0.75rem | 12px | | ||
| dataPoints | 0.75rem | 12px | | ||

||
## Applying Spacing | ||
|
||
There are three main ways to apply spacing in our component library: | ||
|
||
### 1. Using the `margin` Prop | ||
|
||
Most components in the library support a `margin` prop that works similarly to the CSS margin property. You can specify a single value or fine-tune individual margins (e.g., top, right, bottom, left). | ||
|
||
```ts | ||
--- | ||
type: example | ||
--- | ||
<div> | ||
<Button margin="0 buttons 0 0">Button 1</Button> | ||
<Button>Button 2</Button> | ||
</div> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### 2. Using a Container Component with the `gap` Prop | ||
|
||
For layouts, container components like `Flex` and `Grid` can be used with the gap prop to manage spacing between child elements. | ||
|
||
```ts | ||
--- | ||
type: example | ||
--- | ||
<Flex gap="buttons"> | ||
<Button>Button 1</Button> | ||
<Button>Button 2</Button> | ||
</Flex> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### 3. Importing Values from the Theme | ||
|
||
If you need to directly reference spacing values, you can import them from the theme. This approach is useful for applying spacing in inline styles or custom components. | ||
|
||
```ts | ||
--- | ||
type: code | ||
--- | ||
// import the canvas theme | ||
import canvas from '@instructure/ui-themes' | ||
|
||
// use spacing values | ||
<div style={{display: 'flex', gap: canvas.spacing.buttons}}> | ||
<button>Button 1</button> | ||
<button>Button 2</button> | ||
</div> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Legacy tokens | ||
|
||
For compatibility reasons we still provide the legacy spacing tokens (`xxLarge`, `medium`, etc.) so old layouts don't break when updating InstUI but these tokens shouldn't be used when creating new layouts. |
