The ABFRealmGridController is a UICollectionViewController subclass that binds data in Realm. The underlying UICollectionView will animate changes via use of RBQFetchedResultsController.

A Swift API that mirrors the Objective-C version is also available.

To use, simply subclass ABFRealmGridController in the same way as UICollectionViewController and set the entityName property to the Realm object class name you want to display. Similar to an UICollectionView implementation, you will need to implement the necessary UICollectionViewDelegate and UICollectionViewDataSource protocols.
