To create a custom AnyLayout of two HStacks in SwiftUI, you can use the AnyLayout type to dynamically switch between different layouts based on certain conditions, such as accessibility settings. Here's a general approach based on the context provided:
-
Define a Dynamic Layout: Use the
AnyLayouttype to define a layout that can switch between anHStackand another layout (likeVStack) based on conditions such as accessibility settings. -
Implement the Layout: In your SwiftUI view, use the
AnyLayoutto apply the desired layout. For example, you can switch between anHStackand aVStackdepending on the text size or other conditions.
Here's a simplified example:
struct CustomLayoutView: View {
@Environment(\.dynamicTypeSize) var dynamicTypeSize
var body: some View {
let dynamicLayout = dynamicTypeSize.isAccessibilityCategory ? AnyLayout(VStackLayout()) : AnyLayout(HStackLayout())
dynamicLayout {
HStack {
Image(systemName: "star")
Text("Hello, World!")
}
HStack {
Image(systemName: "moon")
Text("Goodnight, Moon!")
}
}
}
}
In this example, the dynamicLayout switches between an HStack and a VStack based on the dynamicTypeSize. This allows the layout to adapt dynamically to different text sizes, which is particularly useful for accessibility.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Get started with Dynamic Type (06:00) which covers dynamic layouts in SwiftUI.
