LayoutKit is a fast, declarative view layout library for iOS, macOS, and tvOS, created by LinkedIn as a performant alternative to Auto Layout. It computes immutable, cacheable layouts asynchronously on background threads and integrates with UIKit views, UITableView, and UICollectionView.
Use cases
- replace Auto Layout for faster view layout in scrollable views
- compute view layouts asynchronously on background threads
- build declarative immutable layout hierarchies in Swift
- cache precomputed layouts to improve scroll performance
- support right-to-left language layouts automatically
- efficiently lay out UITableView and UICollectionView cells
When to choose
- you need maximum layout performance for complex scrollable view hierarchies on Apple platforms
- you prefer declarative, immutable layout code over Auto Layout constraints
- you want background-thread layout computation to keep the UI responsive
When to avoid
- you need a maintained library - the project is explicitly unmaintained and no longer used by LinkedIn
- you are starting a new project where SwiftUI or modern Auto Layout tooling is sufficient
- you target platforms beyond iOS, macOS, and tvOS
