Pull to refresh is a common UI pattern, supported in UIKit via UIRefreshControl. (Un)surprisingly, it's also unavailable in SwiftUI. (EDIT: It's been added in SwiftUI 3 - however, it has many drawbacks compared to this solution.)
This recipe shows how to implement this functionality with any ScrollView. It also doesn't rely on UIViewRepresentable.

This recipe shows how to combine ScrollViewReader and onChange(of:perform:) to jump to the selected item in a scrollable view. We'll use this method to update our top tabs and make them fully visible when selected.
Flow Layout / Tag Cloud in SwiftUI
Reading time: 2 min
A Flow Layout is a container that orders its views sequentially, breaking into a new "line" according to the available width of the screen. You can compare it to a left-aligned block of text, where every word is a View. A common use for this layout is to create a tag cloud.
Scrolling ScrollView programatically
Reading time: 1 min
This recipe is about how to scroll a SwiftUI ScrollView programatically. Here's a quick breakdown of what to do:

- For iOS 14 and above - embed your
ScrollView's root view in aScrollViewReader, and then use thescrollTomethod.
