# VStackLayout

A vertical container that you can use in conditional layouts.

## Declaration

```swift
@frozen struct VStackLayout
```

## Overview

Overview This layout container behaves like a VStack, but conforms to the Layout protocol so you can use it in the conditional layouts that you construct with AnyLayout. If you don’t need a conditional layout, use VStack instead.
