Hello dears!

I am starting to build my first app in swiftui, thanks for the HWS!

So, I am building a soccer app where it will display the current live matches. each match has a starting 11 players in a formation (lineup) -> see below examples of the view.

Each team has a different lineup/formation strategy. maybe 4-3-3, or 4-4-1-1 .. or any number of combinations of 11 players as you can see above in the images.

It will be so difficult to build a struct for each possible formation/lineup strategy.

is it possible to do that dynamically in VStacks/HStacks? if so, can you show an initial example of the way it's done as a guideline for me to follow?

with many thanks!

hi,

given the right data structures ... perhaps using

typealias PlayerRow = [Player] // a list of players in one row of the formation

var playerRows: [PlayerRow] // a list of the rows, e.g. forwards, midfielders, defenders (as many rows as required)

... SwiftUI could show the team formation with:

VStack {
  ForEach(playerRows) { playerRow in 
    HStack {
      ForEach(playerRow) { player in
        PlayerView(player)
      }
    }
  }
}

hope that helps,

DMG
