flex-start in tview

[anderspitman]

Is there a way to accomplish the equivalent of CSS Flexbox flex-start in tview?

I have a single line of text followed by a QR code which spans many lines. I want the QR code to appear right below the text line, but they are both taking up half the available height of the flex container.

CSS flex-start is a keyword used in multiple contexts so I'm not sure which one you're referring to. I would even argue that justify-content: flex-start is the default in tview's Flex component.

If you have a TextView with one line of text and another TextView with a QR code, do this:

flex.AddItem(oneLiner, 1, 0, true).
    AddItem(qrCode, 0, 1, false)

This will place the QR code right underneath your one-line text.
