# πŸ“±GridStack

A flexible grid layout view for SwiftUI.

## WWDC20 Update

Apple ο£Ώ released [`LazyVGrid`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/lazyvgrid) and [`LazyHGrid`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/lazyhgrid) at WWDC20.

If you are fine to only support **i(Pad)OS 14, macOS 11, tvOS 14, watchOS 7** respectively those `^--` are definitely the way to go.

If you want to support **i(Pad)OS 13, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13, watchOS 6** keep on reading.

Simply pass the minimum width the grid cells should have and the spacing between them and it will adjust depending on the available width.

So writing this:

will give you you this:

It also adjusts correctly when the device is rotated:

## πŸ—Ί Usage Overview

Think of the grid in the way of what is the **minimum width** you want your cells to be. That way it is easy to adjust to any available space. The only other size you need to provide is the **spacing** between the cells.

To actually create the grid we need to know the **numbers of items**. Then the **content** view builder will be called with each **index** and the **cellWidth** that you can then pass to the frame of whatever you want to display inside.

## πŸ‘• Sizing your views inside the cells

The grid will wrap each item you provide with in a view that gets the **cellWidth** set as **width**. No height constraint is put on the cell. That is so that you can size your content as flexible as possible. Here are just a couple of examples what you can do.

### Height defined by content

```swift
GridStack(...) { index, cellWidth in
Text("\(index)")
// Don't pass any height to the frame to let it be defined by it's content
.frame(width: cellWidth)
}
```

### Square items

```swift
GridStack(...) { index, cellWidth in
Text("\(index)")
// Pass the cellWidth as width and height to the frame to make a square
.frame(width: cellWidth, height: cellWidth)
}
```

### Aspect Ratio items

```swift
GridStack(...) { index, cellWidth in
Text("\(index)")
// Pass the cellWidth as width and a portion of it as height to get a certain aspect ratio
.frame(width: cellWidth, height: cellWidth * 0.75)
}
```

## ✍️ Signature

```swift
GridStack(
minCellWidth: Length,
spacing: Length,
numItems: Int,
alignment: HorizontalAlignment = .leading,
content: (index: Int, cellWidth: CGFloat) -> Void
)
```

## πŸ“ Mentions

I created `GridStack` by taking ideas from [FlowStack](https://github.com/johnsusek/FlowStack) by [John Susek](https://github.com/johnsusek).
