TimelineUI

A SwiftUI component library for displaying calendar timeline views in iOS apps. Show daily schedules on an hour grid with automatic layout for overlapping events.

Installation

Add TimelineUI to your project using Swift Package Manager:

dependencies:[.package(url:"https://codeberg.org/ctietze/timeline-ui.git", from:"1.0.0")]

Quick Start

import TimelineUI
structScheduleView:View{letevents:[TimelineItem]=[TimelineItem(
title:"Team Meeting",
startDate:Date(),
endDate:Date().addingTimeInterval(3600),
color:.blue,
location:"Conference Room A"),TimelineItem(
title:"Lunch",
startDate:Date().addingTimeInterval(7200),
endDate:Date().addingTimeInterval(10800),
color:.green
)]varbody:someView{DayTimelineView(items: events)}}

Components

DayTimelineView

Full day timeline that automatically expands to fill available space. Shows hour grid lines with events positioned by time.

DayTimelineView(items:[TimelineItem])

CompactTimelineView

Compact timeline window, ideal for widgets or previews.

CompactTimelineView(items:[TimelineItem]) // Fills available height
CompactTimelineView(items:[TimelineItem], heightMode:.flexible) // Same as above
CompactTimelineView(items:[TimelineItem], heightMode:.fixed(hours:2)) // Fixed 2-hour window

Expandable Timeline

Tap a compact timeline to expand into a full day view with a smooth matched geometry animation:

@StateprivatevarisExpanded=false@NamespaceprivatevartimelineNamespace
// Compact view with tap-to-expand
CompactTimelineView(items: items, heightMode:.fixed(hours:2)).timelineTransition(in: timelineNamespace).onTapGesture{withAnimation(.spring(duration:0.4, bounce:0.15)){
isExpanded =true}}
// Apply expanded overlay at root level
.overlay{if isExpanded {ExpandedTimelineContent(items: items){ headerView }.timelineTransition(in: timelineNamespace)}}

Access Restricted View

Show a blurred timeline with a permission prompt when calendar access hasn't been granted:

CompactTimelineView(items:[]).accessRestricted(!hasCalendarAccess){AccessPromptView.calendar(style:.compact){awaitrequestCalendarAccess()}}

Customize the prompt text:

AccessPromptView.calendar(
title:"Check for conflicts",
message:"See if this time works with your schedule",
buttonLabel:"Enable Calendar"){awaitrequestAccess()}

Or use ViewBuilders for full control over icon and button:

AccessPromptView(
title:"Connect Calendar",
message:"Show your events on the timeline",
icon:{Image(systemName:"calendar.badge.plus")},
buttonLabel:{Label("Allow Access", systemImage:"checkmark.circle")}){awaitrequestAccess()}

Screenshots

	Light	Dark
Compact - Focused 2-3 hour window
Day - Full schedule with hour grid
Overlapping - Events arranged side-by-side
Many events - Handles busy schedules gracefully
Access restricted - Blurred with permission prompt
