I'm working on an app in SwiftUI, Xcode 12.4 / iOS14.

In one view I need to produce a list - but the data for the list is subject to a 'ForEach loop' and then an 'if / else' condition - if a condition is met then the item should be omitted from the list. This works - but the list now has gaps in it from where items have been omitted.

Question is - is there a way to produce a list and omit the gaps or would I need to rebuild a new set of data using the if / else condition and then pass that to the list to avoid gaps ?

It would help if we could see some code.

But you probably want to use filter(_:) on your array before running it through the ForEach to get rid of items you don't want to display.

The way I did it (because used a FetchRequest) was have a computed property that return the new array without the data in it

var newItems: [Data] {
    var items = [Data]()

    for item in orginalItems {
        if true {
          items.append(item)
        }
    }

    return items
}

then use newItems in the ForEach
