- Assign the grid layout to your collection view’s `collectionViewLayout` property.
“`swift
import RDHCollectionViewGridLayout

gridLayout.numberOfColumns = 3
gridLayout.interitemSpacing = 10.0
gridLayout.lineSpacing = 10.0
collectionView.collectionViewLayout = gridLayout
“`
Customization

Example
Here’s an example of how to use the RDHCollectionViewGridLayout:
“`swift
import UIKit
import RDHCollectionViewGridLayout
class MyViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource {
@IBOutlet weak var collectionView: UICollectionView!
let gridLayout = RDHCollectionViewGridLayout()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
gridLayout.numberOfColumns = 2
gridLayout.interitemSpacing = 10.0
gridLayout.lineSpacing = 10.0
collectionView.collectionViewLayout = gridLayout
collectionView.dataSource = self
// Register your cell class or nib file
collectionView.register(MyCollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: “cellIdentifier”)
}
// Implement UICollectionViewDataSource methods
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return myDataSource.count
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: “cellIdentifier”, for: indexPath) as! MyCollectionViewCell
// Configure your cell
return cell
}
}
“`
