Changelog

Expo UI LazyVStack matches the official SwiftUI LazyVStack API and arranges its children vertically, creating items only as needed (when they become visible during scrolling).

Installation

Terminal

- npx expo install @expo/ui

If you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo in your project.

Usage

Basic lazy vertical stack

LazyVStack should be used inside a ScrollView to enable lazy rendering.

BasicLazyVStackExample.tsx

import { Host, ScrollView, LazyVStack, Text } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function BasicLazyVStackExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <ScrollView>
        <LazyVStack spacing={12}>
          {Array.from({ length: 100 }, (_, i) => (
            <Text key={i}>{`Item ${i}`}</Text>
          ))}
        </LazyVStack>
      </ScrollView>
    </Host>
  );
}

With alignment

The alignment prop controls horizontal alignment of children. Available options are: leading, center, and trailing.

LazyVStackAlignmentExample.tsx

import { Host, ScrollView, LazyVStack, Rectangle } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';
import { frame } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui/modifiers';

export default function LazyVStackAlignmentExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <ScrollView>
        <LazyVStack spacing={12} alignment="leading">
          <Rectangle modifiers={[frame({ width: 50, height: 50 })]} />
          <Rectangle modifiers={[frame({ width: 100, height: 50 })]} />
          <Rectangle modifiers={[frame({ width: 75, height: 50 })]} />
        </LazyVStack>
      </ScrollView>
    </Host>
  );
}
