InfinityScrollKit Package

InfinityScrollKit is a SwiftUI package that simplifies implementing infinite scrolling for lists in iOS. The package handles loading more items as the user scrolls, while providing a customizable UI for both normal cells and the last loading/error state cell.

Features

• Infinite scrolling support for any SwiftUI list.
• Customizable views for individual items and the last cell (used for progress indicators or error states).
• Support for dynamic loading through a callback for loading more items.
• Encapsulated state management for loading indicators.
• Option to provide feedback to parent views about loading state changes.
• Scroll orientation customization.

Usage

Check out the full example in this repo.

Basic Usage

Below is a basic usage example where we create an infinite scroll list with custom item and last cell views:

import SwiftUI
import InfiniteScrollView

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var items: [MyItem] = []
    
    var body: some View {
        InfiniteScrollView(
            arr: $items,
            cellView: { item in
                Text(item.name) // Customize the view for each item
            }
        )
    }
}

• arr: The array of items to display.
• cellView: A ViewBuilder function to display the individual cells in the list.

Customization

• onLoadingChange: A closure to notify the parent view when the loading state changes.
• options: You can pass Options<T> to customize the number of items per page and handle loading more items via a callback.
• lastCellView: A ViewBuilder function for the view at the end of the list (e.g., a loading indicator or error message).
• emptyArrayView: Customize the view shown when there are no items in the list.

import SwiftUI
import InfinityScrollKit

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var arr: [String] = []
    @State private var isLoading: Bool = false
    
    var body: some View {
        InfiniteScrollView(
            arr: $arr,
            options: options,
            onLoadingChanged: onLoadingChanged,
            cellView: CellView,
            lastCellView: LastCellView,
            emptyArrView: EmptyArrView
        )
        // You can also use ScrollView modifiers directly
        .scrollIndicators(.hidden)
    }

    private var options: Options<String> {
        .init(
            orientation: .horizontal,
            countPerPage: 2,
            paginationOptions: .init(
                onPageLoad: {
                    // Replace this with an API pagination request
                    try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 5 * 1_000_000_000)
                    
                    var fetchedItems: [String]
                    // ...
                    // fetch additional items to add to the current array
                    
                    return fetchedItems
                },
                concatMode: .auto  //.auto for automatically adding pages to the array instead of passing the full array everytime.
            )
        )
    }

    private func onLoadingChanged(_ isLoading: Bool) {
        self.isLoading = isLoading
        if self.isLoading {
            // Do anything here...
        }
    }

    @ViewBuilder func CellView(_ item: String) -> some View {
        Text(item)
    }

    @ViewBuilder func LastCellView() -> some View {
        ProgressView()
            .padding()
    }

    @ViewBuilder func EmptyArrView() -> some View {
        Text("No items to display...")
    }
}
