struct Example: View {
  var body: some View {
    VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 20) {
      Text("Orders")
      Spacer()
      HStack() {
        Button(action: add) {
          Text("Add")
        }
        Spacer()
        Button(action: remove) {
          Text("Remove")
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

A component to provide space between stack items. Spacers will fill the available space between components.
