Vue Box - Overview

The Box UI component allows you to arrange various elements within it. This UI component is separate and adaptive and acts as the layout's building block.

The following code adds a simple Box containing three items to your page. These items are plain texts placed in differently-colored rectangles arranged in a row. Equal ratio property values ensure they have equal widths.
