<p>最近项目中需要用到瀑布流的效果，但是用UICollectionViewFlowLayout又达不到效果，自己动手写了一个瀑布流的layout，下面是我的心路路程</p>    <p>先先上效果图</p>    <p style="text-align:center"><img src="https://simg.open-open.com/show/786e11960f068a346095b211588dd42c.gif"></p>    <p>因为是用UICollectionView来实现瀑布流的，决定继承UICollectionViewLayout来自定义一个layout来实现一个简单瀑布流的布局，下面是需要重写的方法：</p>    <ul>     <li>重写这个属性得出UICollectionView的ContentSize： collectionViewContentSize</li>     <li>重写这个方法来得到每个item的布局： layoutAttributesForItem(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes?</li>     <li>重写这个方法给UICollectionView所有item的布局： layoutAttributesForElements(in rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]?</li>     <li>重写这个方法来实现UICollectionView前的操作： prepare()</li>    </ul>    <h2>实现思路</h2>    <p>通过代理模式获得到需要的列数和每一item的高度，用过列数与列之间的间隔和UICollectionView的宽度来得出每一列的宽度，item从左边到右布局，下一列的item放到高度最小的列下面，防止每列的高度不均匀，下面贴上代码和注释：</p>    <pre>  <code class="language-objectivec">import UIKit    @objc protocol WCLWaterFallLayoutDelegate {      //waterFall的列数      func columnOfWaterFall(_ collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int      //每个item的高度      func waterFall(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout waterFallLayout: WCLWaterFallLayout, heightForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat  }    class WCLWaterFallLayout: UICollectionViewLayout {        //代理      weak var delegate: WCLWaterFallLayoutDelegate?
