    'dnb-space',
    spacingClasses,
    className,

    <RedBox>
      <Component
        innerSpace={{
          large: true,
        }}

      </Component>
    </RedBox>
  </>,

Responsive innerSpace

For "padding" inside the space component, you can use the property innerSpace.

It supports the same API as the space prop.

But in addition it supports media query breakpoints, such as small, medium and large.

Content

Code Editor
<RedBox>
  <Space
    innerSpace={{
      small: 'large x-small',
      medium: true,
      large: {
        top: '2rem',
        left: '16px',
        bottom: 'large',
        right: '5rem',
      },
    }}
  >
    <P>Content</P>
  </Space>
</RedBox>

Spacing with no margin collapse, due to the flex usage

I have bottom="small"
I have top="large"

All four values will result in an equivalent margin

I have four 2.5rem margins!And this are my CSS classes: dnb-space dnb-space__top--large dnb-space__top--x-small dnb-space__right--large dnb-space__right--x-small dnb-space__bottom--large dnb-space__bottom--x-small dnb-space__left--large dnb-space__left--x-small
