I have been looking into SwiftUI lately, and fount this spacing property for rows and columns. I have been searching for it in Jetpack Compose but cannot find it? Is that correct? Do I have to add my own spacing between every item? for example
Copy code
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(4.dp))

that, or Modifier.padding()
padding = space in compose world. Given it’s a modifier, it adds a space over the component. No such thing as margins.
Spacer() is useful when spacing components though,
Copy code
ComponentA()
Spacer(8.dp)
ComponentB()
instead of
Copy code
ComponentA(Modifier.padding(bottom = 4.dp))
ComponentB(Modifier.padding(top = 4.dp))
there used to be 
arrangementSpacing
for 
Column
, seems it’s internal now

FlowRow/Column still has 
mainAxisSpacing
, but it might change because it's still experimental and its behavior might not be what you want

I think you might be looking for 
Arrangement.spacedBy
?
Copy code
Row(arrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(4.dp))
Also exists for 
Column
, 
ScrollableRow
and 
ScrollableColumn
, but AFAIK not (yet?) for their lazy counterparts.
