<p>Setting dimensions this way is common for components that should always render at exactly the same size, regardless of screen dimensions.</p>

<p>Use <code>flex</code> in a component's style to have the component expand and shrink dynamically based on available space. Normally you will use <code>flex: 1</code>, which tells a component to fill all available space, shared evenly amongst each other component with the same parent. The larger the <code>flex</code> given, the higher the ratio of space a component will take compared to its siblings.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A component can only expand to fill available space if its parent has dimensions greater than 0. If a parent does not have either a fixed <code>width</code> and <code>height</code> or <code>flex</code>, the parent will have dimensions of 0 and the <code>flex</code> children will not be visible.</p>
