SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout

A collection view layout capable of laying out views in vertically and horizontal scrolling grids and lists.

Introduction

SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout is a UICollectionViewLayout subclass for laying out vertically and horizontal scrolling grids and lists of items. Compared to UICollectionViewFlowLayout, SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout supports many additional features:

• Support Vertical and Horizontal scroll direction.
• Support water-flow and grid list.
• Hiding or showing headers and footers on a per-section basis.
• Self-sizing headers and footers.
• Headers and footers offset.
• Headers and footers direction.
• Pinned (sticky) headers and footers on a per-section basis.
• Section background that can be hidden/visible on a per-section basis.
• Section background inset.
• Per-item self-sizing preferences (self-size and statically-size items anywhere in your collection view).
• Item width/height based on a fraction of the total available width/height.
• Item width/height ratio.

Getting Start

Requirements

• Deployment target iOS 11.0+
• Swift 5+
• Xcode 14+

Installation

CocoaPods

pod 'SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout'

Or

pod 'SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout', :git => "https://github.com/liujunliuhong/SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout.git"

Usage

Once you've integrated the SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout into your project, using it with a collection view is easy.

Setting up cells and headers

SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout requires its own UICollectionViewCell and UICollectionReusableView subclasses:

• SwiftyCollectionViewCell
• SwiftyCollectionReusableView

These two types enable cells and supplementary views to self-size correctly when using SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout .

Importing SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout

At the top of the file where you'd like to use SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, import SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout.

import SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout

Setting up the collection view

Create your UICollectionView instance, passing in a SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout instance for the layout parameter.

let layout = SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout()
layout.scrollDirection = .vertical

let collectionView = UICollectionView(frame: .zero, collectionViewLayout: layout)
collectionView.dataSource = self
collectionView.delegate = self

view.addSubview(collectionView)
// Use SnapKit
collectionView.snp.makeConstraints { make in
    make.edges.equalToSuperview()
}

Registering cells and supplementary views

// Cell
collectionView.register(MyCell.classForCoder(), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "MyCellReuseIdentifier")

// Header
collectionView.register(MyHeaderView.classForCoder(), forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: "MyHeaderReuseIdentifier")

// Footer
collectionView.register(MyFooterView.classForCoder(), forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: "MyFooterReuseIdentifier")

Section Background view

SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout support section background view. (very like decoration view)

collectionView.register(DecorationView.classForCoder(), forSupplementaryViewOfKind: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout.SectionBackgroundElementKind, withReuseIdentifier: NSStringFromClass(DecorationView.classForCoder()))

section background view do not self-size. so, the section background view can subclasses from UICollectionReusableView

Configuring the delegate

Here's an example delegate implementation (For more usage, please check Demo):

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, itemSizeModeAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> SwiftyCollectionViewLayoutSizeMode {
    return .init(width: .fractionalFull(divisor: 2), height: .absolute(50))
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, visibilityModeForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> SwiftyCollectionViewLayoutSupplementaryVisibilityMode {
    return .visible(sizeMode: .init(width: .full, height: .absolute(75)))
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, visibilityModeForFooterInSection section: Int) -> SwiftyCollectionViewLayoutSupplementaryVisibilityMode {
    return .hidden
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, headerDirection section: Int) -> SwiftyCollectionViewLayoutSupplementaryDirection {
    return .left
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, footerDirection section: Int) -> SwiftyCollectionViewLayoutSupplementaryDirection {
    return .left
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, sectionInsetContainHeader section: Int) -> Bool {
    return false
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, sectionInsetContainFooter section: Int) -> Bool {
    return false
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, sectionType section: Int) -> SwiftyCollectionViewSectionType {
    return .row(direction: .left, alignment: .center)
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, visibilityModeForBackgroundInSection section: Int) -> SwiftyCollectionViewLayoutBackgroundVisibilityMode {
    return .visible
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, backgroundInset section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
    return UIEdgeInsets(top: 10, left: 10, bottom: 10, right: 10)
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, insetForSectionAt section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
    return UIEdgeInsets(top: 20, left: 20, bottom: 20, right: 20)
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, headerPinToVisibleBounds section: Int) -> Bool {
    return true
}

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: SwiftyCollectionViewFlowLayout, footerPinToVisibleBounds section: Int) -> Bool {
    return false
}

You must implement this method: collectionView(_:layout:sectionType:).
