Paging UICollectionView by cells, not screen

Question

I have UICollectionView with horizontal scrolling and there are always 2 cells side-by-side per the entire screen. I need the scrolling to stop at the begining

Swift 5

I've found a way to do this without subclassing UICollectionView, just calculating the contentOffset in horizontal. Obviously without isPagingEnabled set true. Here is the code:

var offsetScroll1 : CGFloat = 0
var offsetScroll2 : CGFloat = 0
let flowLayout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
let screenSize : CGSize = UIScreen.main.bounds.size
var items = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"]

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    flowLayout.scrollDirection = .horizontal
    flowLayout.minimumLineSpacing = 7
    let collectionView = UICollectionView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 590, width: screenSize.width, height: 200), collectionViewLayout: flowLayout)
    collectionView.register(collectionViewCell1.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: cellReuseIdentifier)
    collectionView.delegate = self
    collectionView.dataSource = self
    collectionView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
    collectionView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
    self.view.addSubview(collectionView)
}

func scrollViewWillBeginDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    offsetScroll1 = offsetScroll2
}

func scrollViewDidEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, willDecelerate decelerate: Bool) {
    offsetScroll1 = offsetScroll2
}

func scrollViewWillEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, withVelocity velocity: CGPoint, targetContentOffset: UnsafeMutablePointer){
    let indexOfMajorCell = self.desiredIndex()
    let indexPath = IndexPath(row: indexOfMajorCell, section: 0)
    flowLayout.collectionView!.scrollToItem(at: indexPath, at: .centeredHorizontally, animated: true)
    targetContentOffset.pointee = scrollView.contentOffset
}

private func desiredIndex() -> Int {
    var integerIndex = 0
    print(flowLayout.collectionView!.contentOffset.x)
    offsetScroll2 = flowLayout.collectionView!.contentOffset.x
    if offsetScroll2 > offsetScroll1 {
        integerIndex += 1
        let offset = flowLayout.collectionView!.contentOffset.x / screenSize.width
        integerIndex = Int(round(offset))
        if integerIndex < (items.count - 1) {
            integerIndex += 1
        }
    }
    if offsetScroll2 < offsetScroll1 {
        let offset = flowLayout.collectionView!.contentOffset.x / screenSize.width
        integerIndex = Int(offset.rounded(.towardZero))
    }
    let targetIndex = integerIndex
    return targetIndex
}
