Overview

SquareMosaicLayout

An extandable mosaic UICollectionViewLayout with a focus on extremely flexible customizations.

Note

This layout is not of waterfall type. It was designed for layouts where we can predict the size of rectangular box which contains the number of full cells. Check out how to copy TRMosaicLayout or FMMosaicLayout using SquareMosaicLayout

Visual

Example	Layout	Pattern	Blocks

Build and run an example project to see how it really works	Let's imagine that we want a UICollectionView with some mosaic layout that looks like this	The red part of frames repeats while scrolling. So we should do only the red pattern and then repeat it	The pattern is split it into smaller blocks that can be reused for some other layout or pattern

Installation

SquareMosaicLayout is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'SquareMosaicLayout', '4.1.2'

Capabilities

Layout can be vertical or horizontal.
Each section can have its own pattern of frames.
Each section can have its own header frame (optional).
Each section can have its own footer frame (optional).
Each section can have its own background (optional).
Space between sections can be changed (optional).
Space between, before and after blocks in pattern can be changed (optional).
Each section can have one repeated block.

Example - copying TRMosaicLayout

final class TRMosaicLayoutCopy: SquareMosaicLayout, SquareMosaicDataSource {
    
    convenience init() {
        self.init(direction: SquareMosaicDirection.vertical)
        self.dataSource = self
    }

    func layoutPattern(for section: Int) -> SquareMosaicPattern {
        return TRMosaicLayoutCopyPattern()
    }
}

class TRMosaicLayoutCopyPattern: SquareMosaicPattern {
    
    func patternBlocks() -> [SquareMosaicBlock] {
        return [
            TRMosaicLayoutCopyBlock1(),
            TRMosaicLayoutCopyBlock2()
        ]
    }
}

public class TRMosaicLayoutCopyBlock1: SquareMosaicBlock {
    
    public func blockFrames() -> Int {
        return 3
    }
    
    public func blockFrames(origin: CGFloat, side: CGFloat) -> [CGRect] {
        let minWidth = side / 3.0
        let maxWidth = side - minWidth
        let minHeight = minWidth * 1.5
        let maxHeight = minHeight + minHeight
        var frames = [CGRect]()
        frames.append(CGRect(x: 0, y: origin, width: maxWidth, height: maxHeight))
        frames.append(CGRect(x: maxWidth, y: origin, width: minWidth, height: minHeight))
        frames.append(CGRect(x: maxWidth, y: origin + minHeight, width: minWidth, height: minHeight))
        return frames
    }

            FMMosaicLayoutCopyBlock2(),
            FMMosaicLayoutCopyBlock2()
        ]

set shadow for section
Hi, I set shadow for section but doesn't effect on section `func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionReusableView { switch kind { case SquareMosaicLayoutSectionBacker: let view: UICollectionReusableView = collectionView.dequeueSupplementary(kind, indexPath: indexPath, kind: kind) view.layer.backgroundColor = UIColor.white.cgColor view.layer.roundedAllCorner(width: 5, height: 5) view.layer.borderColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor view.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 13, height: 13) view.layer.shadowOpacity = 15 view.layer.shadowRadius = 12 view.layer.masksToBounds = false view.masksToBounds = false return view case SquareMosaicLayoutSectionHeader: let view: UICollectionReusableView = collectionView.dequeueSupplementary(kind, indexPath: indexPath, kind: kind) view.layer.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor

let label = UILabel() label.text = "header" label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20) label.textAlignment = .center label.frame = view.bounds view.addSubview(label) return view default: fatalError() } }`

iOS 8 Support

Hi, I'm wondering why the deploy target is iOS 9.0. I tried the demo app on iOS 8.1 and it works quite normal.

Is there any other issue I didn't notice?

Lazy computation for layout attributes

When collection view has thousands of items then method prepare() works slow that causes some lags/freezes, especially it is noticeable on device orientation change. Thanks.

Objective C Usage?

Is this compatible with objective c? I am able to import it by using the following code, but cannot initialize it.

#import "SquareMosaicLayout-Swift.h"

Carthage support
Hi, For iOS projets it's will be great to make your component Carthage compatible

Take a look at these articles:

Ruthlessly Simple Dependency Management with Carthage

Carthage Tutorial: Getting Started

Making Carthage-compatible Frameworks with Swift

Swift Cross Platform Framework (section Configure targets for Carthage) 👍

On your README.md add on top and add section for the installation with Carthage.
