As the first step to create our leaderboard view, we’ll start by creating a view for a single row inside the leaderboard.

Now that we’ve implemented a view for a row within the leaderboard, we can start putting together the main view for the leaderboard.

Learn how you can use iOS size classes to adjust the layout of the view based on whether there is a compressed amount of horizontal space.

Learn one way you can display an extra screne of content in your SwiftUI app, using View’s sheet() method.
