LazyVStack

The LazyVStack view arranges its elements in a line that grows vertically. It has all the properties of a standard VStack but it will not create items until it needs to be rendered on screen. This is useful when creating long lists and can allow an app to run smoother and faster.

Syntax

var body: some View {
    LazyVStack {
        Subviews here
    }
}

Example

In the example below, a ScrollView contains a LazyVStack that consists of a vertical row of text views:

var body: some View {
    ScrollView(.vertical) {
        LazyVStack(alignment: .center) {
            ForEach(1...100, id: \.self) {
                Text("Row \($0)")
            }
        }
    }
}

• ScrollView() displays the content within the scrollable region and adjusts what portion of the content is visible. Here, the axis is set to .vertical, which allows for vertical scrolling.
• ForEach is a method that takes two parameters, a ClosedRange<Int> and an id so SwiftUI can identify each of the items uniquely in order to update the values when changed. In this case, 100 Text subviews are created.
• $0 is a short hand syntax used to reference the first argument in a closure.

This will display the following:
