To create a scroll view in SwiftUI, you can use the ScrollView component. Here are some examples and techniques mentioned in the WWDC sessions:

  1. Basic Scroll View:

    • You can create a simple horizontal or vertical scroll view by wrapping your content in a ScrollView and specifying the axis of scrolling.
    ScrollView(.vertical) {
        VStack {
            ForEach(0..<50) { index in
                Text("Item \(index)")
                    .padding()
            }
        }
    }
    
  2. Custom Scroll Effects:

    • You can use the scrollTransition modifier to create custom scroll effects. This allows you to change the appearance of elements based on their position in the scroll view.
    ScrollView(.horizontal) {
        HStack {
            ForEach(0..<10) { index in
                Image(systemName: "photo")
                    .resizable()
                    .frame(width: 100, height: 100)
                    .scrollTransition { content, phase in
                        content
                            .rotationEffect(.degrees(phase.value * 360))
                    }
            }
        }
    }
    

    For more details on creating custom scroll effects, you can refer to the session Create custom visual effects with SwiftUI (00:02:07).

  3. Advanced Scroll View Modifiers:

    • In tvOS 18, new view modifiers specific to ScrollView have been introduced. These include modifiers to handle visibility changes and scroll target behavior.
    ScrollView {
        VStack {
            // Your content here
        }
        .onScrollVisibilityChange { isVisible in
            // Handle visibility change
        }
        .scrollTargetBehavior(.viewAligned)
    }
    

    For more information on these new modifiers, you can check the session Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI (00:10:07).

  4. Programmatic Control and Enhancements:

    • SwiftUI provides more programmatic control over scroll views, including the ability to scroll to specific positions and control content alignment.
    ScrollView {
        VStack {
            // Your content here
        }
        .scrollPosition(.top)
        .scrollBounceBehavior(.disabled)
    }
    

    For more details on these enhancements, refer to the session What’s new in SwiftUI (00:16:18).

By using these techniques, you can create and customize scroll views in SwiftUI to fit your app's needs.
