Question 1

PagingView vs UICollectionView: which is better for paging in iOS?

Accepted Answer

PagingView is optimized for simple, infinite horizontal paging with a UIKit-like interface, while UICollectionView offers more flexibility for complex layouts but requires additional setup for paging. Choose PagingView for straightforward paging needs and UICollectionView for advanced grid or compositional layouts.

Question 2

How to install PagingView with Carthage?

Accepted Answer

Add `github "KyoheiG3/PagingView"` to your Cartfile and run `carthage update`. Then, link the generated framework in your Xcode project, as outlined in the README under the Carthage installation section.

Question 3

Can PagingView be used with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, PagingView is built for UIKit and does not support SwiftUI natively. To use it in a SwiftUI project, you must wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable, which adds complexity and may not provide a seamless experience.

Question 4

How to customize cells in PagingView?

Accepted Answer

Register nibs or classes using `registerNib` or `registerClass` functions, similar to UICollectionView. Then, implement `pagingView(_:cellForItemAtIndexPath:)` in the dataSource to provide custom cell content, as detailed in the usage examples.

Question 5

Does PagingView support vertical paging?

Accepted Answer

The README and demo focus on horizontal paging, and there's no mention of vertical support. For vertical paging, you might need to modify the library or consider alternative components like UIScrollView with paging enabled.

Question 6

What are the performance tips for PagingView with large datasets?

Accepted Answer

Ensure efficient cell reuse by implementing `dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier` and managing memory in the dataSource. The library handles infinite scrolling, but for large datasets, monitor cell lifecycle events like `willDisplayCell` to optimize loading and caching.
