NSCollectionViewFlowLayout produces a layout with items justified on the right margin or, if the container is only wide enough for one item, centres items. I was expecting an alignment option, e.g. on the delegate, but am not finding anything in the docs. Does it require subclassing NSCollectionViewFlowLayout to achieve this?

Here is a subclass that produces a left justified flow layout:
class LeftFlowLayout: NSCollectionViewFlowLayout {
override func layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect: CGRect) -> [NSCollectionViewLayoutAttributes] {
let defaultAttributes = super.layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect)
if defaultAttributes.isEmpty {
// we rely on 0th element being present,
// bail if missing (when there's no work to do anyway)
return defaultAttributes
}
var leftAlignedAttributes = [NSCollectionViewLayoutAttributes]()
var xCursor = self.sectionInset.left // left margin
// if/when there is a new row, we want to start at left margin
// the default FlowLayout will sometimes centre items,
// i.e. new rows do not always start at the left edge
var lastYPosition = defaultAttributes[0].frame.origin.y
for attributes in defaultAttributes {
if attributes.frame.origin.y > lastYPosition {
// we have changed line
xCursor = self.sectionInset.left
lastYPosition = attributes.frame.origin.y
}
attributes.frame.origin.x = xCursor
// by using the minimumInterimitemSpacing we no we'll never go
// beyond the right margin, so no further checks are required
xCursor += attributes.frame.size.width + minimumInteritemSpacing
leftAlignedAttributes.append(attributes)
}
return leftAlignedAttributes
}
}
