In the first and the second article, I looked at how to work with UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout and UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource. They are the main components for UICollectionView. But all of this is just a theory, how to use them in practice? How to build a complex layout with them?

In the last article, I shared my investigation of UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout. But all experienced developers know that UICollectionView contains two parts — Layout and Datasource. In this article, I will look at the second part, the instrument which also was introduced at the last WWDC — UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource.

Many other small but very helpful for current applications features somehow stayed off the screen and today I want to share my own research about one of them — UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout.
