Fit allows you to lay out your views into lines without ever bothering to group or measure them, all thanks to the implementation of the Layout protocol.

Usage

Add your views just like you would do it with all other SwiftUI stacks:

import Fit

Fit {
    Text("Tags:")

    ForEach(tags) { tag in
        TagView(tag: tag)
    }

    TextField("New tag", text: $input)
}

Note

Full code for this example: Tag List Example.

Customisation

Fit provides multiple ways to customise your layout:

Line Alignment and Spacing

// .leading (default), .center or .trailing
Fit(lineAlignment: .center, lineSpacing: 12) {
    // views
}

Note

The default line spacing is .viewSpacing, which merges spacing of all items in the line and then uses vertical distance, ViewSpacing.distance, to add spacing between to lines.

Item Alignment and Spacing

You can align items in the same way you would do in HStack:

// fixed item spacing
Fit(itemAlignment: .firstTextBaseline, itemSpacing: 8) {
    // views
}

// view's preferred spacing
Fit(itemAlignment: .firstTextBaseline, itemSpacing: .viewSpacing(minimum: 8)) {
    // views
}

Line-Break

Use view modifier to add line-break before or after a particular view:

Fit {
    Text("Title:")
        .fit(lineBreak: .after)
    // next views
}

Per-line styling

You can define secific style for each line with LineStyle:

let conveyorBeltStyle: LineStyle = .lineSpecific { style, line in
    // reverse every second line
    style.reversed = (line.index + 1).isMultiple(of: 2)
    // if the line is reversed, it should start from the trailing edge
    style.alignment = style.reversed ? .trailing : .leading
}

Fit(lineStyle: conveyorBeltStyle) {
    // views
}

Note

Full code for this example: Conveyor Belt Example.

It is also possible to create a variable style:

var fancyAlignJustified: LineStyle {
    .lineSpecific { style, line in
        if stretch {
            style.stretched = line.percentageFilled >= threshold
        }
    }
}

Fit(lineStyle: fancyAlignJustified) {
    // views
}

Note
