The `layer` property is used to assign widgets to a layer.
The value of the `layer` property must be the name of a layer defined using a `layers` declaration.
Layers control the order in which widgets are painted on screen.
More information on layers can be found in the [guide](../guide/layout.md#layers).
## Syntax
```
layer: <STRING>;
```
## Example
In the example below, `#box1` is yielded before `#box2`.
However, since `#box1` is on the higher layer, it is drawn on top of `#box2`.
