Installation

To use CompositionalGridView in your iOS project, follow the steps below:

  1. Open your project in Xcode
  2. Go to “File” > “Swift Packages” > “Add Package Dependency”
  3. Enter the package repository URL: https://github.com/your-repo/CompositionalGridView.git
  4. Select the version or branch you want to use
  5. Click “Next” and follow the prompts to complete the installation

Usage

Once you have installed CompositionalGridView in your project, you can start using it to create grid-based interfaces. Follow the steps below to get started:

Create a CompositionalGridView

To create a CompositionalGridView, you first need to import the library in your Swift file:


// Import CompositionalGridView
import CompositionalGridView

Then, you can initialize a CompositionalGridView and add it to your view hierarchy:


// Initialize CompositionalGridView
let gridview = CompositionalGridView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 320, height: 480))

// Add it to your view hierarchy
view.addSubview(gridview)

Configure Layout

Next, you can configure the layout of your grid view, including the number of columns, cell spacing, and cell size. Here’s an example:


// Configure Layout
let layout = gridview.collectionViewLayout as? CompositionalGridLayout
layout?.numberOfColumns = 3
layout?.cellSpacing = 10
layout?.cellSize = CGSize(width: 100, height: 100)

Populate with Data

To populate your CompositionalGridView with data, you need to conform to the data source protocol and provide the necessary methods. Here’s an example:


extension YourViewController: CompositionalGridViewDataSource {
func numberOfItems(in gridView: CompositionalGridView) -> Int {
// Return the number of items in your data source
return yourDataArray.count
}

func gridView(_ gridView: CompositionalGridView, cellForItemAt index: Int) -> UICollectionViewCell {
// Create and configure your custom cell using your own data
let cell = gridView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "YourCustomCell", for: index) as! YourCustomCell
let dataItem = yourDataArray[index]
cell.configure(with: dataItem)
return cell
}
}

Make sure to register your custom cell class and set the data source of your CompositionalGridView:


// Register custom cell class
gridview.register(YourCustomCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "YourCustomCell")

// Set data source
gridview.dataSource = self

Conclusion

CompositionalGridView offers a powerful solution for creating grid-based interfaces in your iOS applications. With its flexible layout options and efficient performance, you can easily build stunning grid views that showcase your content in a visually appealing way.
