For now, Xamarin.Forms hasn't a Layout which is wrapped on view boundary such as WPF WrapLayout.
That's why I made the layout library named AiForms.Layout.
Demo
RepeatableWrapLayout
RepeatableStack
Repository
https://github.com/muak/AiForms.Layouts
Nuget Package
https://www.nuget.org/packages/AiForms.Layouts/
Installation
Install-Package AiForms.Layouts
You need to install this package to .NETStandard / PCL project and each platform project.
iOS
If you don't use XamlCompilationOptions.Compile, need to write following code in AppDelegate.cs; Otherwise needn't.
public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options) {
global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();
AiForms.Layouts.LayoutsInit.Init(); //need to write here
LoadApplication(new App(new iOSInitializer()));
return base.FinishedLaunching(app, options);
}
Overview
Wraplayout
WrapLayout horizontally arranges an element, automatically wraps at parent view boundary.
In addition to wrapping function, there are functions that each element width is automatically made uniform width by specifying the number of elements in a row.
Parameters
- Spacing
- Margin between elements.
- UniformColumns
- Specifying more than 0, a child width will be width which divide parent width by this number.
- IsSquare
- Specifying true, a child height will be equal to its width.
