## Attributes


| Name| Type| Default Value| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| visibility | [Visibility](ts-appendix-enums.md#visibility) | Visibility.Visible | Whether the component is visible. Note that even if a component is hidden, it needs to be re-created when the page is refreshed. Therefore, you are advised to use [conditional rendering](../../ui/ts-rending-control-syntax-if-else.md) instead under scenarios where consistently high performance is required. |


## Example

```ts
// xxx.ets
@Entry
@Component
struct VisibilityExample {
  build() {
    Column() {
      Column() {
        Text('Visible').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
        Row().visibility(Visibility.Visible).width('90%').height(80).backgroundColor(0xAFEEEE)

        Text('None').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
        // The component is hidden, and no placeholder is used.
        Row().visibility(Visibility.None).width('90%').height(80).backgroundColor(0xAFEEEE)

        Text('Hidden').fontSize(9).width('90%').fontColor(0xCCCCCC)
        // The component is hidden, and a placeholder is used for it in the layout.
        Row().visibility(Visibility.Hidden).width('90%').height(80).backgroundColor(0xAFEEEE)
      }.width('90%').border({ width: 1 })
    }.width('100%').margin({ top: 5 })
  }
}
```
