title: Flex List
description: Flex List
---

Field-level catalog tables below stay in English — they match the machine design schema used by the editor, API, and MCP.

Decoration and visibility use [Decoration & visibility (BlockShell)](/en/design/shared-concepts/block-shell).

> Preferred flex layout for slot children (no columns array). The editor `listLayout` control writes per-breakpoint maps (not a single enum): flexDirectionByBreakpoint, gapByBreakpoint, justifyContentByBreakpoint, alignItemsByBreakpoint, flexWrapByBreakpoint. Use Item order (itemOrderByChildId) to change child CSS order by breakpoint without moving blocks in the canvas. Prefer over legacy RowBlock for new designs (including email chrome).

## Fields

### `content`

Main content payload. Shape depends on the block: nested slot blocks, rich-text HTML, or body copy.

```
content: []
```

### `listLayout`

_Editor-only control — does not persist its own value._

Editor-only control. Persists flexDirectionByBreakpoint, gapByBreakpoint, justifyContentByBreakpoint, alignItemsByBreakpoint, flexWrapByBreakpoint — not a stored listLayout string.

```
flexDirectionByBreakpoint: { mobile: "column", desktop: "row" }
gapByBreakpoint: { mobile: 12, desktop: 24 }
justifyContentByBreakpoint: { desktop: "flex-start" }
alignItemsByBreakpoint: { desktop: "stretch" }
flexWrapByBreakpoint: { desktop: "wrap" }
```

### `itemOrder`

_Editor-only control — does not persist its own value._

Editor-only Flex List Item order control. Does not persist as itemOrder — writes itemOrderByChildId.

```
// Writes:
itemOrderByChildId: { "HeadingBlock-1": { mobile: 2, desktop: 0 } }
```

### `layout`

#### `flexDirectionByBreakpoint`

Flex direction per breakpoint id (row | column | row-reverse | column-reverse).

```
layout: {
  flexDirectionByBreakpoint: { mobile: "column", desktop: "row" }
}
```

#### `gapByBreakpoint`

Gap in px per breakpoint.

```
layout: {
  gapByBreakpoint: { mobile: 12, desktop: 24 }
}
```

#### `itemOrderByChildId`

Map of child Puck id → breakpoint id → CSS order. Omitted ids keep source order. Web-only (email keeps DOM order).

```
layout: {
  itemOrderByChildId: { "HeadingBlock-1": { mobile: 2, desktop: 0 } }
}
```
