How to make horizontal UICollectionView with Swift

Question

I want to display a list of product descriptions inside collection view cells and I'm using dequee for that.

I want to make sure that it only scrolls horizontally and not vertically at all.

The cell's width is 180px and the total number of my items is different every time.

I have tried a lot but the scrollView doesn't extend it's width at all.

You should specify the layoutDirection property of your collection in viewDidLoad:

 if let flow =  collectionView?.collectionViewLayout as? UICollectionViewFlowLayout{
          flow.scrollDirection = .Horizontal
    }

or you can do this in Storyboard.

Do I need to have UIScrollBar and then add collectionView as subView too?

No, you don't need it.I use a collectionViewController in my example.
