SwiftUI Layout Inspector Demo App

Instructions

  1. Edit the subject: some View property in ContentView. It should contain the view tree you want to inspect.

  2. Add .debugLayout() at each point in the view tree where you want to inspect the layout algorithm (what sizes are being proposed and returned).

    Example of a subject property with a few inspection points:

    var subject: some View {
        Text("Hello world")
            .debugLayout("Text")
            .padding(10)
            .debugLayout("padding")
            .background {
                Color.yellow
                    .debugLayout("yellow")
            }
            .debugLayout("background")
    }
  3. Build and run the app.

    • The subject view is displayed on top.
    • The table on the bottom displays the sizes that are being proposed at each inspection point in the subject view ("Proposal", and the resulting view sizes ("Response").
    • You can tap/click items in the grid to highlight the respective view.
    • You can use the sliders to modify the size proposed to the subject view.
    • Some views cache certain layout information. Press "Reset layout cache" after modifying the sliders to reset the caches.
