SwiftUI HStack with wrap and dynamic height
You can use "fixedSize" to wrap content in one or 2 directions:
.fixedSize(horizontal: true, vertical: true)
Ok, here is a bit more generic & improved variant (for the solution initially introduced in SwiftUI HStack with Wrap)
Tested with Xcode 11.4 / iOS 13.4
Note: as height of view is calculated dynamically the result works in run-time, not in Preview
struct TagCloudView: View {
var tags: [String]
@State private var totalHeight
= CGFloat.zero // << variant for ScrollView/List
// = CGFloat.infinity // << variant for VStack
var body: some View {
VStack {
GeometryReader { geometry in
self.generateContent(in: geometry)
}
}
.frame(height: totalHeight)// << variant for ScrollView/List
//.frame(maxHeight: totalHeight) // << variant for VStack
}
private func generateContent(in g: GeometryProxy) -> some View {
var width = CGFloat.zero
var height = CGFloat.zero
return ZStack(alignment: .topLeading) {
ForEach(self.tags, id: \.self) { tag in
self.item(for: tag)
.padding([.horizontal, .vertical], 4)
.alignmentGuide(.leading, computeValue: { d in
if (abs(width - d.width) > g.size.width)
{
width = 0
height -= d.height
}
let result = width
if tag == self.tags.last! {
width = 0 //last item
} else {
width -= d.width
}
return result
})
.alignmentGuide(.top, computeValue: {d in
let result = height
if tag == self.tags.last! {
height = 0 // last item
}
return result
})
}
}.background(viewHeightReader($totalHeight))
}
private func item(for text: String) -> some View {
Text(text)
.padding(.all, 5)
.font(.body)
.background(Color.blue)
.foregroundColor(Color.white)
.cornerRadius(5)
}
private func viewHeightReader(_ binding: Binding<CGFloat>) -> some View {
return GeometryReader { geometry -> Color in
let rect = geometry.frame(in: .local)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
binding.wrappedValue = rect.size.height
}
return .clear
}
}
}
struct TestTagCloudView : View {
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text("Header").font(.largeTitle)
TagCloudView(tags: ["Ninetendo", "XBox", "PlayStation", "PlayStation 2", "PlayStation 3", "PlayStation 4"])
Text("Some other text")
Divider()
Text("Some other cloud")
TagCloudView(tags: ["Apple", "Google", "Amazon", "Microsoft", "Oracle", "Facebook"])
}
}
}
I adapted Asperi's solution to accept any type of view and model. Thought I would share it here. I added it to a GitHub Gist and included the code here.
struct WrappingHStack<Model, V>: View where Model: Hashable, V: View {
typealias ViewGenerator = (Model) -> V
var models: [Model]
var viewGenerator: ViewGenerator
var horizontalSpacing: CGFloat = 2
var verticalSpacing: CGFloat = 0
@State private var totalHeight
= CGFloat.zero // << variant for ScrollView/List
// = CGFloat.infinity // << variant for VStack
var body: some View {
VStack {
GeometryReader { geometry in
self.generateContent(in: geometry)
}
}
.frame(height: totalHeight)// << variant for ScrollView/List
//.frame(maxHeight: totalHeight) // << variant for VStack
}
private func generateContent(in geometry: GeometryProxy) -> some View {
var width = CGFloat.zero
var height = CGFloat.zero
return ZStack(alignment: .topLeading) {
ForEach(self.models, id: \.self) { models in
viewGenerator(models)
.padding(.horizontal, horizontalSpacing)
.padding(.vertical, verticalSpacing)
.alignmentGuide(.leading, computeValue: { dimension in
if (abs(width - dimension.width) > geometry.size.width)
{
width = 0
height -= dimension.height
}
let result = width
if models == self.models.last! {
width = 0 //last item
} else {
width -= dimension.width
}
return result
})
.alignmentGuide(.top, computeValue: {dimension in
let result = height
if models == self.models.last! {
height = 0 // last item
}
return result
})
}
}.background(viewHeightReader($totalHeight))
}
private func viewHeightReader(_ binding: Binding<CGFloat>) -> some View {
return GeometryReader { geometry -> Color in
let rect = geometry.frame(in: .local)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
binding.wrappedValue = rect.size.height
}
return .clear
}
}
}
I just managed to solve this by moving the GeometryReader up to the ExampleTagsView and using platforms.first instead of last inside .alignmentGuide
Full code:
import SwiftUI
struct ExampleTagsView: View {
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
ScrollView(.vertical) {
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text("Platforms:")
TestWrappedLayout(geometry: geometry)
Text("Other Platforms:")
TestWrappedLayout(geometry: geometry)
}
}
}
}
}
struct ExampleTagsView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ExampleTagsView()
}
}
struct TestWrappedLayout: View {
@State var platforms = ["Ninetendo", "XBox", "PlayStation", "PlayStation 2", "PlayStation 3", "PlayStation 4", "PlayStation 5", "Ni", "Xct5Box", "PlayStatavtion", "PlvayStation 2", "PlayStatiadfon 3", "PlaySdatation 4", "PlaySdtation 5"]
let geometry: GeometryProxy
var body: some View {
self.generateContent(in: geometry)
}
private func generateContent(in g: GeometryProxy) -> some View {
var width = CGFloat.zero
var height = CGFloat.zero
return ZStack(alignment: .topLeading) {
ForEach(self.platforms, id: \.self) { platform in
self.item(for: platform)
.padding([.horizontal, .vertical], 4)
.alignmentGuide(.leading, computeValue: { d in
if (abs(width - d.width) > g.size.width)
{
width = 0
height -= d.height
}
let result = width
if platform == self.platforms.first! {
width = 0 //last item
} else {
width -= d.width
}
return result
})
.alignmentGuide(.top, computeValue: {d in
let result = height
if platform == self.platforms.first! {
height = 0 // last item
}
return result
})
}
}
}
func item(for text: String) -> some View {
Text(text)
.padding(.all, 5)
.font(.body)
.background(Color.blue)
.foregroundColor(Color.white)
.cornerRadius(5)
}
}
Result:
