Nesting and flexbox about few.swift

[joshaber]

It shouldn't be necessary to wrap them in elements. Could you provide an example where this happens?

[mrjjwright]

I am sure I am doing something stupid. Note that if I put the Views directly in the App component it works.

Definitely a bug. We currently copy the layout properties from the component to the root element:

Few.swift/FewCore/Component.swift

Line 99 in e4d96d9

newRoot.flex = flex

In this case that overwrites the assigned flex. I imagine we should only copy those attributes which have been set. Or perhaps don't copy them at all?

This. Components should set their own styles. If they want an outside user to set something, they should take it as an arg.

Yeah that copying code looked suspect to me as well. I tried commenting it out yesterday before I submitted the bug I thought but perhaps I didn't get it quite right.
