# LazyVStack

A SwiftUI LazyVStack component for lazy vertical layouts.
iOS, tvOS, Included in Expo Go

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt). Use this file to discover all available pages.

Expo UI LazyVStack matches the official SwiftUI [LazyVStack API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/lazyvstack) and arranges its children vertically, creating items only as needed (when they become visible during scrolling).

## Installation

```sh
npx expo install @expo/ui
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules) in your project.

## Usage

### Basic lazy vertical stack

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

```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`.

```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>
  );
}
```
