# Layout

Quickly and easily create layouts with the basic 24-column.

:::tip

The component uses flex layout by default, no need to set `type="flex"` manually.

Please note that the parent container should avoid using `inline` related styles,
which will cause the component to not fill up its width.

:::

## Basic layout

:::demo With `row` and `col`, we can easily manipulate the layout using the `span` attribute.

## Utility classes for hiding elements

Additionally, Element Plus provides a series of classes for hiding elements under
certain conditions. These classes can be added to any DOM elements or custom components.
You need to import the following CSS file to use these classes:

```js
import 'element-plus/theme-chalk/display.css'
```

The classes are:

- `hidden-xs-only` - hide when on extra small viewports only
- `hidden-sm-only` - hide when on small viewports and down
- `hidden-sm-and-down` - hide when on small viewports and down
- `hidden-sm-and-up` - hide when on small viewports and up
- `hidden-md-only` - hide when on medium viewports only
- `hidden-md-and-down` - hide when on medium viewports and down
- `hidden-md-and-up` - hide when on medium viewports and up
- `hidden-lg-only` - hide when on large viewports only
- `hidden-lg-and-down` - hide when on large viewports and down
