CollectionStack-SwiftUI

CollectionStack is designed to solve limitation of HStack and VStack in SwiftU, it grows horizontally first, then vertically if next element could not fit horizontally.

How to use in code?

struct App: Identifiable {
	var name: String
	var id: String { return name }
}

let apps: [App] = [
	"youtube", "podcast", "twitter",
	"facebook", "instagram",
	"free form", "github desktop", "source tree"
].map(App.init(name: ))
				
//you can wrap this CollectionStack into ScrollView as well if you want scrolling				
CollectionStack(apps) { app in
	Button {
		print("Selected tag := \(app.name)")
	} label: {
		Text(app.name)
			.font(.system(.callout, design: .rounded, weight: .regular))
	}
	.buttonStyle(.bordered)
	.padding(.trailing, 8)
	.padding(.bottom, 8)
}

Output of above sample code

CollectionStack

is generic SwiftUI View over data and content

Data

The collection of underlying identified data that CollectionStack uses to create views dynamically.

Content

A function to create content on demand using the underlying data. It's a mapper function which maps Data to some View.

Public API is consistent same as ForEach of SwiftUI

/// Creates an instance that uniquely identifies and creates views across
/// updates based on the identity of the underlying data.
///
/// It's important that the `id` of a data element doesn't change unless you
/// replace the data element with a new data element that has a new
/// identity. If the `id` of a data element changes, the content view
/// generated from that data element loses any current state and animations.
///
/// - Parameters:
///   - data: The identified data that the ``CollectionStack`` instance uses to
///     create views dynamically.
///   - content: The view builder that creates views dynamically.

public init(_ data: Data, @ViewBuilder content: @escaping (Data.Element) -> Content)
