# layoutProperties

The default property values for a layout.

## Declaration

```swift
static var layoutProperties: LayoutProperties { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If you don’t implement the layoutProperties method in your custom layout, the protocol uses this default implementation instead, which returns a LayoutProperties instance with default values. The properties instance contains information about the layout container, like a stackOrientation property that indicates the container’s major axis.
