ArrangeUI

ArrangeUI is a lightweight UIKit wrapper around the Arrange layout engine.

The package focuses on view/layout primitives only:

• HStackView
• VStackView
• ZStackView
• FrameView
• PaddingView
• OffsetView
• BackgroundView
• SizeView
• SpacerView
• BoundsClampedView
• SafeAreaClampedView

The goal is to make SwiftUI-like layout composition available in UIKit, while staying fully UIView-based.

Scope

ArrangeUI currently handles:

• layout wrappers
• sizing behavior (intrinsicContentSize, sizeThatFits)
• frame placement in layoutSubviews
• small UIView convenience APIs like padding, offset, background, frame, and sized

Installation

Add ArrangeUI to your Swift Package dependencies:

dependencies: [
  .package(url: "https://github.com/danielinoa/ArrangeUI.git", branch: "main")
]

Then add "ArrangeUI" to your target dependencies.

Example

import UIKit
import ArrangeUI

let title = UILabel()
title.text = "ArrangeUI"

let subtitle = UILabel()
subtitle.text = "UIKit + Arrange"

let content = VStackView(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8)
content.addSubview(title)
content.addSubview(subtitle)

let card = content
  .padding(16)
  .background(UIView())
  .frame(maximumWidth: 320, alignment: .leading)

Development Notes

• Platform target: iOS 13+
• xcodebuild is the recommended way to validate iOS builds from CLI.

Contributing

Issues and PRs are welcome, especially around:

• layout correctness and edge cases
• API ergonomics for UIKit composition
• docs and examples
