An extendable mosaic UICollectionViewLayout for iOS with a focus on extremely flexible customizations.
SquareMosaicLayout is a custom UICollectionViewLayout for iOS that enables developers to create complex, mosaic-style layouts with predictable, repeating patterns. It solves the problem of building non-standard grid layouts by providing a flexible block-based system for arranging cells. Unlike waterfall layouts, it focuses on layouts where the containing rectangle's size can be predetermined.
iOS developers building apps that require custom, non-standard collection view layouts, such as photo galleries, dashboards, or creative content displays with mosaic patterns.
Developers choose SquareMosaicLayout for its extreme flexibility and structured approach to customization, allowing them to replicate existing mosaic layouts or create entirely new ones using reusable blocks and patterns without dealing with complex custom layout math.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses reusable blocks and patterns to build complex layouts from simple components, enabling predictable designs as shown in the TRMosaicLayout and FMMosaicLayout copy examples.
Allows each section to have unique patterns, headers, footers, and backgrounds, providing fine-grained control over visual arrangements, listed in the Capabilities section.
Supports both vertical and horizontal scrolling with customizable spacing between sections and blocks, offering versatility in layout design.
Enables a single block to be repeated within a section for consistent design elements, reducing redundant code and ensuring uniformity.
Explicitly not designed for waterfall-type layouts where cell sizes depend on content, limiting its use for aesthetic styles like Pinterest.
Requires defining custom classes for blocks and patterns, which involves manual frame calculations and can be time-consuming compared to standard layouts.
As a niche library, it has fewer tutorials, community resources, and updates, making troubleshooting and adoption harder for teams.
