# nicklockwood/SwipeView

SwipeView is a class designed to simplify the implementation of horizontal, paged scrolling views on iOS. It is based on a UIScrollView, but adds convenient functionality such as a UITableView-style dataSource/delegate interface for loading views dynamically, and efficient view loading, unloading and recycling.

## What it is
SwipeView is an Objective-C iOS library that simplifies building horizontal, paged scrolling views on top of UIScrollView. It provides a UITableView-style dataSource/delegate interface with efficient view loading, unloading, and recycling.

## Use cases
- implement horizontal paged scrolling views on iOS
- create swipeable card or page carousels
- recycle views efficiently in a paging scroll view
- load paging content dynamically via a dataSource pattern
- build swipe-based onboarding or gallery screens

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS app targeting old iOS versions
- you want a UITableView-style API for horizontal paging views
- you need efficient view recycling in a paged scroller

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Swift or SwiftUI project
- you need actively maintained or modern iOS support
- UICollectionView with paging or newer carousel libraries would suffice

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: objective-c, uikit, paging, scroll-view, carousel, view-recycling, ios, mobile
