The ABFRealmTableViewController class is a subclass of UITableViewController but adds data binding to a Realm object class. The underlying UITableView will animate changes via use of RBQFetchedResultsController.

A Swift version was added with an identical API in v1.1.

To use, simply subclass ABFRealmTableViewController in the same way as UITableViewController and set the entityName property to the Realm object class name. Similar to an UITableView implementation, you will need to implement the necessary UITableViewControllerDelegate and UITableViewControllerDataSource protocols.

Starting with v1.5, the underlying data binding provided by RBQFetchedResultsController doesn't require any use of custom Realm mutation methods since Realm supports fine-grained notifications directly. As a result, you can just use ABFRealmTableViewController alongside the normal Realm methods.

Screenshot

The example application is a basic todo list with an object model: TaskObject that the UITableView is bound to. When a new TaskObject is created, the row animates in, and likewise when the TaskObject is deleted the row animates out.
