In 2024, SwiftUI introduced several enhancements to ScrollView, providing developers with more control and flexibility. Here are the key improvements:
-
Programmatic Control: You now have more programmatic control over your ScrollView, including the ability to scroll to specific positions like the top edge.
-
Scroll Positions: There are more scroll positions available, allowing for more precise control over where content is displayed.
-
Scroll Geometry Change: The
onScrollGeometryChange
modifier lets you react to changes in content offsets and sizes, enabling dynamic UI updates based on scroll position. -
Visibility Detection: You can detect when a view's visibility changes due to scrolling, which is useful for creating experiences centered around content moving on or off the screen, such as auto-playing videos.
-
Content Alignment and Bouncing: You can control content alignment and disable bouncing along a given axis, providing a more tailored scrolling experience.
-
Scroll Transition Modifier: This modifier allows for custom scroll effects, such as rotating and offsetting elements based on their position in the scroll view, creating unique visual experiences.
