SwiftUI has introduced several enhancements for tables, particularly focusing on performance and customization. In the session titled "Platforms State of the Union," it was highlighted that SwiftUI is getting even faster at displaying lists and tables with very large amounts of data. For instance, on macOS, a list of 100,000 items will now load over six times faster, and incremental changes like inserting new items are up to 16 times faster. These improvements represent a significant step forward in SwiftUI scrolling performance.
Additionally, in the session "What’s new in SwiftUI," there is a mention of using TableColumnForEach
to have a dynamic number of table columns, which can be particularly useful for applications that require flexible data presentation.
