How can I create a SwiftUI list with separated members, without using Section

Question

How can I, without using Section, achieve a list that looks like this:

List with separated members --> This list has separated members

List with no separation --> This list has no separated members

Here is how the list is created, using Section:

List {
    ForEach(item, id: \.self) { item in
        Section {
            NavigationLink {
                VStack {
                    Text(name ?? "Err").font(.title)
                    Text(category ?? "Err").font(.subheadline)
                }
            } label: {
                HStack {
                    Text("\(order)")
                    Spacer()
                    Text(name ?? "Err")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
.listStyle(.insetGrouped)

I don't understand your goal here. You either using Section or Something Else requires more code. Also, if you want more customizable just go with ForEach{} + HStack like this answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/66222068/… — Steven-Carrot

@DávidPásztor it's extremely choppy/laggy looking when editing the list, moving items up and down on the list — Elixir12

Yes you are required. Swiftui List is very limited in term of design customization, so that’s your only choice. — Steven-Carrot

A possible solution for this is to turn off default row background and separators and make row drawing by ourselves using row insets to manage distances between rows... and this will not break default List bahavior.

Tested with Xcode 13.4 / iOS 15.5

List {
    ForEach([1, 2, 3], id: \.self) { item in
        NavigationLink {
            VStack {
                Text("name \(item)").font(.title)
            }
        } label: {
            HStack {
                Text("\(item)")
                Spacer()
                Text("name \(item)").font(.title)
            }
        }
        .padding(.horizontal)
    }
    .background(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 12).fill(.red))
    .listRowBackground(Color.clear)
    .listRowSeparator(.hidden)
    .listRowInsets(EdgeInsets(top: 4, leading: 0, bottom: 4, trailing: 0))
}
.listStyle(.insetGrouped)
