Introduction: Introduction: In our previous dive into the Vaadin Flow universe, we began to unravel the secrets of layout components. Now, let's delve into the foundations of any interface: horizontal and vertical layouts. After all, before building grand structures, we need to master the basics. Horizontal Layout: The Basis of Logical Organization Horizontal Layout: The Basis of Logical Organization The HorizontalLayout is undoubtedly the most fundamental Vaadin component. It allows us to arrange elements side by side, creating clear and intuitive interfaces. HorizontalLayout Think of it as the backbone of a form, where input fields and buttons align harmoniously. With this simple code snippet, we can create a row of components, ready to receive user data and interactions. It's Vaadin's simplicity in action. Vertical Layout: Building Pillars of Information Vertical Layout: Building Pillars of Information If HorizontalLayout arranges elements in a row, VerticalLayout stacks them in columns. Imagine a profile page where information such as name, address, and photo follow one another from top to bottom. HorizontalLayout VerticalLayout It's a vertical organization, clear and direct. The structure is similar to the horizontal layout, but the result is completely different. With these two components, we have the power to create flexible interfaces adaptable to any need. Conclusion: Conclusion: Mastering horizontal and vertical layouts is the first step to building complex and intuitive Vaadin interfaces. ·  Disclaimer Disclaimer This content is not intended to cover the topic exhaustively, as it is based on my studies and notes during this process.
