MagazineLayout is a UICollectionViewLayout subclass for laying out vertically scrolling grids and lists on iOS. It extends UICollectionViewFlowLayout with fractional-width items, vertical-only self-sizing, sticky headers/footers, section backgrounds, and customizable insert/delete animations.

Use cases

• build a vertically scrolling grid layout in a UICollectionView
• create a list layout similar to UITableView using collection views
• self-size collection view items in the vertical dimension only
• add sticky pinned headers and footers to collection view sections
• customize insert and delete animations for collection view items
• mix full-width and half-width items in the same collection view
• show or hide headers, footers, and section backgrounds per section

When to choose

• you need grid or list layouts that UICollectionViewFlowLayout cannot express, like fractional item widths or per-item self-sizing
• you want sticky headers/footers and section backgrounds with per-section control
• you are building content-heavy iOS screens like search results or feeds

When to avoid

• you need horizontal scrolling or non-grid/non-list layouts
• you are building with SwiftUI rather than UIKit collection views
• a simple flow layout already meets your needs and you want to avoid a dependency
