SwiftUI still hasn"t satisfied my requirements. So I built this.

This framework allows you to build UI using UIKit with syntax similar to SwiftUI. You can think about this as an improved UICollectionView.

• Great performance through global cell reuse.
• Built in layouts including Stack, Flow, & Waterfall.
• Declaritive API based on resultBuilder and modifier syntax.
• Work seemless with existing UIKit views, viewControllers, and transitions.
• dynamicMemberLookup support for easily updating your UIKit views.
• Animator API to apply animations when cells are being moved, updated, inserted, or deleted.
• Simple architecture for anyone to be able to understand.
• Easy to create your own Components.
• No state management or two-way binding.

Here

At its core, it provides two UIView subclasses: ComponentView and ComponentScrollView.

These two classes takes in a component parameter where you use to construct your UI using declarative syntax. You can also apply modifiers to these components to treak them further.

For example:

componentView.component =  VStack(spacing: 8) {
  for (index, cardData) in cards.enumerated() {
    Card(card: cardData) { [unowned self] in
      self.cards.remove(at: index)
    }
  }
  AddCardButton { [unowned self] in
    self.cards.append(CardData(title: "Item \(self.newCardIndex)",
                               subtitle: "Description \(self.newCardIndex)"))
    self.newCardIndex += 1
  }
}.inset(20)
