Description

⚠️ This is a very large task. Please coordinate here before doing any work.

ℹ️ I don't have a need for this yet, but might in the future.

ToDo

Here's a rough, high-level outline of what needs to be done.

  • Figure out the main differences between the NSCollectionView infra and UICollectionView infra
  • What can we reuse? What cannot be reused?
  • Should macOS just get its own library? Does it make sense to include it here?
  • Tests for everything
  • Add macOS example app to demonstrate, write UI Tests

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study Apple's documentation for UICollectionView and NSCollectionView to identify differences in infrastructure. Evaluate which portions of ReactiveCollectionsKit can be reused for macOS and which need platform specific implementations. Decide whether to create a separate macOS library or integrate support into the existing library. Develop unit and UI tests for macOS. Build a macOS example app.
