The frame
layout modifier, with .infinity
for the maxWidth
parameter can be used to achieve this, without the need for an additional Shape
View.
struct ContentView: View {
var data = ["View", "V", "View Long"]
var body: some View {
VStack {
// This will be as small as possible to fit the data
HStack {
ForEach(data, id: \.self) { item in
Text(item)
.border(Color.red)
}
}
// The frame modifier allows the view to expand horizontally
HStack {
ForEach(data, id: \.self) { item in
Text(item)
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
.border(Color.red)
}
}
}
}
}
The various *Stack
types will try to shrink to the smallest size possible to contain their child views. If the child view has an ideal size, then the *Stack
will not expand to fill the screen. This can be overcome by placing each child on top of a clear Rectangle
in a ZStack
, because a Shape
will expand as much as possible. A convenient way to do this is via an extension on View
:
extension View {
func inExpandingRectangle() -> some View {
ZStack {
Rectangle()
.fill(Color.clear)
self
}
}
}
You can then call it like this:
struct ContentView: View {
var data = ["View", "View", "View"]
var body: some View {
VStack {
// This will be as small as possible to fit the items
HStack {
ForEach(data, id: \.self) { item in
Text(item)
.border(Color.red)
}
}
// Each item's invisible Rectangle forces it to expand
// The .fixedSize modifier prevents expansion in the vertical direction
HStack {
ForEach(data, id: \.self) { item in
Text(item)
.inExpandingRectangle()
.fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true)
.border(Color.red)
}
}
}
}
}
You can adjust the spacing on the HStack
as desired.
I inserted Spacer()
after each item...but for the LAST item, do NOT add a Spacer()
:
struct BottomList: View {
var body: some View {
HStack() {
ForEach(data) { item in
Item(title: item.title)
if item != data.last { // match everything but the last
Spacer()
}
}
}
}
}
Example list that is evenly spaced out even when item widths are different:
(Note: The accepted answers .frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
did not work for all cases: it did not work for me when it came to items that have different widths)
If items are fullwidth compatible, it will be done automatically, you can wrap items between spacers to make it happen:
struct Resizable: View {
let text: String
var body: some View {
HStack {
Spacer()
Text(text)
Spacer()
}
}
}
So you. can use it in a loop like:
HStack {
ForEach(data, id: \.self) { item in
Resizable(text: item)
}
}
You can also use spacing
in stacks ... ie
HStack(spacing: 30){
Image("NetflixLogo")
.resizable()
.scaledToFit()
.frame(width: 40)
Text("TV Show")
Text("Movies")
Text("My List")
}
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
output result looks like this ...
