Summary

In this chapter, we have learned how to display grids in SwiftUI, including details allowing us to customize how their cells are displayed, which approach to choose, whether to use eager grids or lazy ones, and why. We have seen how to structure grids in a precisely defined size for their cells, how to change the alignment and size of columns or individual cells, and how to let SwiftUI layout grids automatically for us.

At the end of the chapter, we added a few useful techniques that allow us finer control of how we want to change the visualization of SwiftUI views in general.

In the next chapter, we will examine the tab bar and take a deep view of the modal presentation.
