Changing size of selected UICollectionView Cell - swift

Question

I have a simple UICollectionViewController that returns X amount of cells. I want to have it so when a cell is selected, that specific selected cell will change it's size and become larger in height as all of the other cells stay the same. How do I achieve this? Here's my code:
class HomeController: UICollectionViewController, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
let cellId = "cellId"
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
collectionView?.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.90, alpha: 1.0)
collectionView?.register(PostCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: cellId)
collectionView?.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false
collectionView?.alwaysBounceVertical = true
}
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 4
}
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: cellId, for: indexPath) as! PostCell
return cell
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
let height = (view.frame.width) * 9 / 16
return CGSize(width: view.frame.width, height: height + 50 + 50)
}
}

You can check to see if the indexPath from sizeForItemAt is selected. If it is, you return a different height otherwise return the standard height.
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
collectionView.performBatchUpdates(nil, completion: nil)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
switch collectionView.indexPathsForSelectedItems?.first {
case .some(indexPath):
return CGSize() // your selected height
default:
let height = (view.frame.width) * 9 / 16
return CGSize(width: view.frame.width, height: height + 50 + 50)
}
}
