import SwiftUI

struct ListSpacingControl: View {
    
    let planets: [String] = ["Earth", "Mars", "Jupiter", "Saturn", "Uranus", "Neptune"]
    let closeGalaxies = [
        "Milky Way",
        "Andromeda Galaxy",
        "Large Magellanic Cloud",
        "Small Magellanic Cloud",
        "Triangulum Galaxy"
    ]
    
    var body: some View {
        
        List {
            
            Section("Planets") {
                ForEach(planets, id: \.self) { planet in
                    Text(planet)
                }
            }
            
            Section("Galaxies") {
                ForEach(closeGalaxies, id: \.self) { planet in
                    Text(planet)
                }
            }
            
        }
        .listSectionSpacing(.default)
        
    }
    
}
