QGrid is the missing SwiftUI collection view. It uses the same approach as SwiftUI's List view, by computing its cells from an underlying collection of identified data.
✅ macOS 10.15+
✅ Xcode 11.0
✅ Swift 5+
✅ iOS 13+
✅ tvOS 13+
QGrid is available via Swift Package Manager.
Using Xcode 11, go to File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency and enter https://github.com/Q-Mobile/QGrid
In its simplest form, QGrid can be used with just this 1 line of code within the body of your View, assuming you already have a custom cell view:
struct PeopleView: View { var body: some View { QGrid(Storage.people, columns: 3) { GridCell(person: $0) } } } struct GridCell: View { var person: Person var body: some View { VStack() { Image(person.imageName) .resizable() .scaledToFit() .clipShape(Circle()) .shadow(color: .primary, radius: 5) .padding([.horizontal, .top], 7) Text(person.firstName).lineLimit(1) Text(person.lastName).lineLimit(1) } } }You can customize how QGrid will layout your cells by providing some additional initializer parameters, which have default values:
struct PeopleView: View { var body: some View { QGrid(Storage.people, columns: 3, columnsInLandscape: 4, vSpacing: 50, hSpacing: 20, vPadding: 100, hPadding: 20) { person in GridCell(person: person) } } } 📱QGridTestApp directory in this repository contains a very simple application that uses QGrid. Open QGridTestApp/QGridTestApp.xcodeproj and either use the new Xcode Previews feature or just run the app.

📱QGridTestApp contains also the QGrid Designer area view, with sliders for dynamic run-time configuration of the QGrid view (with config option to hide it). Please refer to the following demo executed on the device:
Version 0.1.1 of QGrid contains a very limited set of features. It could be extended by implementing the following tasks:
☘️ Parameterize spacing&padding configuration depending on the device orientation
☘️ Add the option to specify scroll direction
☘️ Add content-only initializer to QGrid struct, without a collection of identified data as argument (As in SwiftUI’s List)
☘️ Add support for other platforms (watchOS)
☘️ Add Stack layout option (as in UICollectionView)
☘️ Add unit/UI tests
☘️ ... many other improvements
