</Stack>

AspectRatio is used to constrain its child to specific aspect ratio. It is mostly used for embedding videos, images, and maps.

<AspectRatio ratio={16 / 9}>
  <img src="./some-ig-story" alt="Instagram story" />
</AspectRatio>

Wrap is used to manage the distribution of child elements that are liable to wrap. It is mostly used for button groups, tag group, badge group, and chips.

</Wrap>

Badge is used to render a badge. It can come in different variants and color schemes as defined in the theme.components.Badge

<Badge variant="solid" colorScheme="green">
  Verified <FaCheck />
</Badge>

Center is used to vertically and horizontally center its child

<Center bg="blue.500" borderRadius="4px" boxSize="40px">
  <FaPhoneIcon />
</Center>

Container is used to manage content areas on a website or blog. It centers itself using margin-left: auto and margin-right: auto. It also applies a default max-width of 60ch (60 characters)
