The modern recipe for a collection view in SwiftUI involves using the ForEach view to iterate over a collection of data and generate views for each element. This approach allows for flexible composition, enabling you to create complex layouts by combining static and dynamic content.
In the session "Demystify SwiftUI containers," it is explained how to use the ForEach view within a ViewBuilder to create a unified list that can display both hardcoded and dynamically generated content. This technique is part of a broader strategy to make custom containers more flexible by supporting different kinds of content composition.
Additionally, the session introduces new APIs like ForEachSubview and ForEachSection, which allow for more advanced layouts, such as organizing content into sections with headers and footers. This is particularly useful for creating organized and visually distinct sections within a custom container.
For more details, you can refer to the session Demystify SwiftUI containers (03:17) where the concept of composition is discussed.
