Usage

1. Init the collectionView with JQCollectionViewAlignLayout:

• by code:

// UICollectionView
JQCollectionViewAlignLayout *layout = [[JQCollectionViewAlignLayout alloc] init];
UICollectionView *collectionView = [[UICollectionView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds collectionViewLayout:layout];

// NSCollectionView
JQCollectionViewAlignLayout *layout = [[JQCollectionViewAlignLayout alloc] init];
NSCollectionView *collectionView = ...;
collectionView.layout = layout;

• or setup in the Interface Builder:

2. Setup the alignment and direction:

• Property(for all sections):

layout.itemsHorizontalAlignment = JQCollectionViewItemsHorizontalAlignmentLeft;
layout.itemsVerticalAlignment = JQCollectionViewItemsVerticalAlignmentCenter;
layout.itemsDirection = JQCollectionViewItemsDirectionLTR;

• Protocol(for each section):

// 1. conforms to protocol JQCollectionViewAlignLayoutDelegate
@interface JQViewController () < UICollectionViewDataSource, JQCollectionViewAlignLayoutDelegate>

@end

@implementation JQViewController
// 2. implement the protocol method
- (JQCollectionViewItemsHorizontalAlignment)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(JQCollectionViewAlignLayout *)layout itemsHorizontalAlignmentInSection:(NSInteger)section {
  // return the JQCollectionViewItemsHorizontalAlignment in section.
}

- (JQCollectionViewItemsVerticalAlignment)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(JQCollectionViewAlignLayout *)layout itemsVerticalAlignmentInSection:(NSInteger)section {
  // return the JQCollectionViewItemsVerticalAlignment in section.
}

- (JQCollectionViewItemsDirection)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView layout:(JQCollectionViewAlignLayout *)layout itemsDirectionInSection:(NSInteger)section {
  // return the JQCollectionViewItemsDirection in section.
}
