What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A UICollectionViewLayout subclass for iOS/tvOS that arranges collection view items in a Pinterest-like waterfall (masonry) layout. It mimics UICollectionViewFlowLayout's API, supports headers/footers, per-section column counts, and handles 10,000+ items smoothly.

Use cases

  • build a Pinterest-style image grid in an iOS app
  • display variable-height cards in a masonry layout with UICollectionView
  • show different column counts per section in a collection view
  • add header and footer views to a waterfall layout
  • render thousands of items in a waterfall grid with smooth scrolling

When to choose

  • you need a Pinterest/masonry waterfall layout on iOS or tvOS
  • you want a drop-in UICollectionViewLayout subclass with a familiar flow-layout-like API
  • you need per-section column counts, headers, and footers
  • you need both Swift and Objective-C implementations with SPM/CocoaPods support

When to avoid

  • you are not building with UIKit UICollectionView (e.g., SwiftUI-only without UIKit interop)
  • you need a uniform grid where UICollectionViewFlowLayout suffices
  • you target iOS versions below 13
  • you need cross-platform (Android/web) masonry layouts
