# Size

The size attributes set the width, height, and margin of a component.

>  **NOTE**
>
>  The APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

## width

width(value: Length)

Sets the width of the component. By default, the width required to fully hold the component content is used. If the width of the component is greater than that of the parent container, the component will be drawn beyond the parent container scope.

Since API version 10, this API supports the calc calculation feature.

**Widget capability**: Since API version 9, this feature is supported in ArkTS widgets.

**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 11.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

**Parameters**

| Name  | Type                          | Mandatory  | Description                 |
| ----- | ---------------------------- | ---- | ------------------- |
| value | [Length](ts-types.md#length) | Yes   | Width of the component to set.<br>Unit: vp|

>  **NOTE**
>
>  - In the [TextInput](./ts-basic-components-textinput.md) component, setting **width** to **auto** means that the width adapts to the width of the text content.
>
>  - In the [AlphabetIndexer](./ts-container-alphabet-indexer.md) component, setting **width** to **auto** means that the width adapts to the maximum width of index entries.

## height

>
>  In the [Row](./ts-container-row.md), [Column](./ts-container-column.md), and [RelativeContainer](./ts-container-relativecontainer.md) components, setting **width** and **height** to **auto** means that the size adapts to the size of their child components.

## constraintSize

constraintSize(value: ConstraintSizeOptions)

Sets the constraint size of the component, which is used to limit the size range during component layout.

Since API version 10, this API supports the calc calculation feature.

**Impact of constraintSize(minWidth/maxWidth/minHeight/maxHeight) on width/height**

| Default Value                                     | Result                                      |

| \ | width=MAX(minWidth,MIN(maxWidth,width))<br>height=MAX(minHeight,MIN(maxHeight,height)) |
| maxWidth, maxHeight| width=MAX(minWidth,width)<br>height=MAX(minHeight,height) |
| minWidth, minHeight| width=MIN(maxWidth,width)<br>height=MIN(maxHeight,height) |
| width, height| If minWidth < maxWidth, the layout logic of the component takes effect, and the value range of **width** is [minWidth, maxWidth]. Otherwise, width = MAX(minWidth, maxWidth).<br>If minHeight < maxHeight, the layout logic of the component takes effect, and the value range of **height** is [minHeight, maxHeight]. Otherwise, height = MAX (minHeight, maxHeight).|
| width and maxWidth; height and maxHeight| width = minWidth<br>height = minHeight |
| width and minWidth; and height and minHeight| The layout logic of the component takes effect, and the value of **width** cannot be greater than that of **maxWidth**.<br>The layout logic of the component takes effect, and the value of **height** cannot be greater than that of **maxHeight**.|
| minWidth and maxWidth; minHeight and maxHeight| The width of the component is initially determined by the value of **width**, and it may be adjusted based on other layout attributes.<br>The height of the component is initially determined by the value of **height**, and it may be adjusted based on other layout attributes.|
| width, minWidth, and maxWidth| The layout restrictions passed by the parent container are used for layout.|
| height, minHeight, and maxHeight| The layout restrictions passed by the parent container are used for layout.|

  build() {
    Column({ space: 10 }) {
      Text('margin and padding:').fontSize(12).fontColor(0xCCCCCC).width('90%')
      Row() {
        // Width: 80; height: 80; margin: 20 (blue area); top, bottom, left, and right paddings: 5, 15, 10, and 20 (white area)
        Row() {
          Row().size({ width: '100%', height: '100%' }).backgroundColor(Color.Yellow)
        }
        .width(80)
        .height(80)
        .padding({ top: 5, left: 10, bottom: 15, right: 20 })
        .margin(20)
        .backgroundColor(Color.White)
      }.backgroundColor(Color.Blue)

      Text('constraintSize').fontSize(12).fontColor(0xCCCCCC).width('90%')
      Text('this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text.this is a Text')
        .width('90%')
        .constraintSize({ maxWidth: 200 })

      Text('layoutWeight').fontSize(12).fontColor(0xCCCCCC).width('90%')
      // When the container size is determined, the component occupies the space along the main axis based on the layout weight, and the component size setting is ignored.
      Row() {
        // Weight 1: The component occupies 1/3 of the remaining space along the main axis.
        Text('layoutWeight(1)')
          .size({ width: '30%', height: 110 }).backgroundColor(0xFFEFD5).textAlign(TextAlign.Center)
          .layoutWeight(1)
        // Weight 2: The component occupies 2/3 of the remaining space along the main axis.
        Text('layoutWeight(2)')
          .size({ width: '30%', height: 110 }).backgroundColor(0xF5DEB3).textAlign(TextAlign.Center)
          .layoutWeight(2)
        // If layoutWeight is not set, the component is rendered based on its own size setting.
        Text('no layoutWeight')
          .size({ width: '30%', height: 110 }).backgroundColor(0xD2B48C).textAlign(TextAlign.Center)
      }.size({ width: '90%', height: 140 }).backgroundColor(0xAFEEEE)
      // calc calculation feature
      Text('calc:').fontSize(12).fontColor(0xCCCCCC).width('90%')
      Text('calc test')
        .fontSize(50)
        .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
        .backgroundColor(0xFFFAF0)
        .textAlign(TextAlign.Center)
        .margin('calc(25vp*2)')
        // If width or height is set to a percentage, the width or height of the parent container are used as the basic value.
        .size({ width: 'calc(90%)', height: 'calc(50vp + 10%)' })
    }.width('100%').margin({ top: 5 })
  }
}
```

### Example 2
This example demonstrates how to use the **padding** and **margin** attributes of the LocalizedPadding and LocalizedMargin types, respectively.
```ts
// xxx.ets
import { LengthMetrics } from '@kit.ArkUI'

@Entry
@Component
struct SizeExample {
  build() {
    Column({ space: 10 }) {
      Text('margin and padding:').fontSize(12).fontColor(0xCCCCCC).width('90%')
      Row() {
        // Set the width to 80, height to 80, top, bottom, start, and end paddings to 40, 20, 30, and 10, respectively (blue area), and top, bottom, start, and end margins to 5, 15, 10, and 20, respectively (white area).
        Row() {
          Row().size({ width: '100%', height: '100%' }).backgroundColor(Color.Yellow)
        }
        .width(80)
        .height(80)
        .padding({
          top: LengthMetrics.vp(5),
          bottom: LengthMetrics.vp(15),
          start: LengthMetrics.vp(10),
          end: LengthMetrics.vp(20)
        })
        .margin({
          top: LengthMetrics.vp(40),
          bottom: LengthMetrics.vp(20),
          start: LengthMetrics.vp(30),
          end: LengthMetrics.vp(10)
        })
        .backgroundColor(Color.White)
      }.backgroundColor(Color.Blue)
    }.width('100%').margin({ top: 5 })
  }
}
```
