SwiftUI Layout

This lesson is part of Swift · All levels

Summary

This lesson reviews the layout system in SwiftUI using Stacks: VStack (vertical), HStack (horizontal), and ZStack (stacked layers of depth). Developers will also learn the use of Spacer() to push elements as well as padding() to provide aesthetic breathing space around the components.

Key points

VStack compiles the child's view vertically from top to bottom
HStack arranges the child's view horizontally side by side from left to right
ZStack stacks the child view in a layered manner along the z-axis
Spacer() flexibly expands to fill the remaining gaps on the stack
