When capturing a snapshot of this hierarchy, for both the lazily and normally loaded VStacks, we’re in the exact same application state except, one is providing much more information. These hierarchies represent what is known of the stack containing the green cells. Shown above is the accessibility hierarchy for the application we will be testing. Example Accessibility Hierarchy: LazyVStack vs. If it has yet to be loaded, it may have the potential to exist, but as far as your UI test is concerned, it does not. The issue resulting from lazily loaded views and stacks is that an expected element may or may not be loaded.
#VSTACK VS LAZYVSTACK CODE#
It is effectively our source of truth, and an element set up in-app code can be included or excluded from the hierarchy by having its status as an accessibility object changed. It’s what we’re testing against when using assertion functions to check for the existence of elements in our automated UI tests. An accessibility hierarchy, in terms of iOS and XCUITest, is a textual representation of the app's user interface. When running automated UI tests for iOS, it’s extremely important to note that we are essentially bound to what’s provided by the app’s accessibility hierarchy. Quick note: if you’d like to skip ahead right to the function & its implementation, skip ahead to “Creating out Custom Swipe Function” Challenges in Finding Lazily Loaded Elements The app’s backend servers receive less strain, and an end-user isn’t hung up on waiting for data to load. Online apps are constantly sending and receiving data, and any means of cutting down the amount of unnecessarily transacted data is beneficial to both the end-user and the app itself. To make grids scrollable, they must be wrapped inside a ScrollView with the appropriate axis: ScrollView(.Lazy loading is a powerful optimization technique used by online apps where data is loaded on-demand, and not monolithically. It’s a bit of a tongue-twister, so here is an animation that explains it much better.
#VSTACK VS LAZYVSTACK FULL#
Alternatively, a LazyHGrid will place cells horizontally in columns, when a column is full (i.e., all its rows used), it will continue to the next column. When a row is full (i.e., all its columns used), it will continue down to the next row. However, depending on the context, it could be confusing, so I will use the term cell instead.Ī LazyVGrid will place its cells vertically but arranged in rows. Note that the official term in Apple’s documentation is “child view”. In the rest of this post, I will use the term cell to refer to each of the views laid out by the Lazy*Grid views.
In that case, this paragraph becomes relevant, otherwise… you can forget about it. This is only important if your un-rendered view has some kind of background task (e.g., subscribed to a publisher). You don’t need to worry too much about all this. In reality, Bindings are just closures that read/write directly from the source of truth variables (e.g., which usually belong to a different view. This makes sense, as Binding variables do not store any real data.
#VSTACK VS LAZYVSTACK UPDATE#
However, if the parameter is a it will update in the subview immediately. This means you can continue to update the view’s state, even if it is not being rendered.įinally, although your view continues to exist (albeit un-rendered) when its parent updates a parameter of the subview, that value will only change in the subview, when it is rendered again. However, although non-rendered items are removed from the hierarchy, their states continue to exist in memory, so when they scroll back, their states remain unaltered.Īlso consider that if your view has a timer or any other publisher, it will continue to fire. It is important to note that the onAppear and onDisappear closures will fire as the views go in and out of view when scrolled. Apple recommends that you use their Lazy versions, but only if needed. We also have LazyVStack and LazyHStack, which are the same as VStack and HStack, except they avoid rendering off-screen views. When they are off-screen, they are not part of the view hierarchy.
The Lazy prefix in LazyVGrid and LazyHGrid indicates that the views contained in the grid are only rendered when on screen.
