How to set offset for the first element of UICollectionView

Question

I want to set offset offset for the first element of collectionView, so the first cell will apear in the center of the collectionView.

You can try to set the `contentOffset` of your `UICollectionView`, to `(yourCollectionView.width-firstElement.widh)/2.` on the y. — Larme, Nov 14 '16 at 15:11

Put this in your ViewDidLoad:

yourCollectionView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: yourCollectionView.frame.width/2, bottom: 0, right: 0)

I hope this helps

This sets the inset for every cell of the collection view though. How do we get it to do it for the first cell only? Thanks – Supertecnoboff Nov 13 '20 at 21:54

I did it with UIEdgeInsets. It can be set either in interface builder or in code by setting sectionInsets property of UICollectionViewFlowLayout
