< How to stop system gestures from interfering with your own | How to create stacks using VStack and HStack > |
Updated for Xcode 14.0 beta 1
New in iOS 16
SwiftUI’s AnyLayout
struct allows us to switch between HStack
and VStack
freely, based on whatever environment context we want to take into account.
For example, we might want to show a group of images horizontally when we’re in a regular horizontal size class, or vertically otherwise, like this:
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.horizontalSizeClass) var horizontalSizeClass
var body: some View {
let layout = horizontalSizeClass == .regular ? AnyLayout(HStack()) : AnyLayout(VStack())
layout {
Image(systemName: "1.circle")
Image(systemName: "2.circle")
Image(systemName: "3.circle")
}
.font(.largeTitle)
}
}

Or we could flip the axis when the user’s Dynamic Type size goes beyond a certain size:
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.dynamicTypeSize) var dynamicTypeSize
var body: some View {
let layout = dynamicTypeSize <= .xxxLarge ? AnyLayout(HStack()) : AnyLayout(VStack())
layout {
Image(systemName: "1.circle")
Image(systemName: "2.circle")
Image(systemName: "3.circle")
}
.font(.largeTitle)
}
}

Tip: Unlike using AnyView
, AnyLayout
doesn’t incur any performance impact, and won’t discard any of the state of its child views.
