Question 1

How do I change the animation style in MMCardView?

Accepted Answer

Set the layout's showStyle property, such as layout.showStyle = .cover, as shown in the README code snippet. Other styles might be available but aren't documented in detail.

Question 2

MMCardView vs UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout: which is better for cards?

Accepted Answer

MMCardView is tailored for card stacks with built-in animations, saving development time. UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout offers more general flexibility but requires custom code for similar effects, making it better for complex, mixed layouts.

Question 3

Can I use MMCardView with SwiftUI in my iOS app?

Accepted Answer

MMCardView is built on UIKit and UICollectionView, so integrating with SwiftUI requires wrapping it in UIViewRepresentable, which adds complexity and may not leverage SwiftUI's native features well.

Question 4

How to handle tap gestures on cards in MMCardView?

Accepted Answer

Since cells inherit from CardCell, you can override touch methods or add gesture recognizers, but the README doesn't provide examples, so you might need to experiment or refer to UICollectionView standards.

Question 5

Is MMCardView good for displaying hundreds of cards efficiently?

Accepted Answer

It's designed for card-style layouts with animations, but performance with large datasets isn't highlighted; custom layouts can be resource-intensive, so testing with your data scale is recommended.

Question 6

How to install MMCardView without CocoaPods?

Accepted Answer

The README only covers CocoaPods installation; for manual setup, clone the repository and add source files directly, but this approach lacks dependency management and might be error-prone.
