[Question] What is `useWebDefaults`?

[gaki2]

Is there explanation of useWebDefaults or Best practice?

I was trying to find about that on https://www.yogalayout.dev/docs/. But I didn't find detailed explanation.

• When should I set useWebDefaults true?
• What is the difference useWebDefaults to be true or false?

You probably want useWebDefaults for a fresh project. It's makes Yoga's layout behave more like the web. But it's not default for backwards compatibility reasons.

@nicoburns Thank you for your answer 👍
But I'm not sure what behave more like the web. means.
Can you explain it more detailed?

[nicoburns]

@gaki2 There are specification like https://drafts.csswg.org/css-flexbox that specify how algorithms like Flexbox layout ought to work. Yoga is not 100% conformant to those specifications. It is closer when useWebDefaults is enabled.
