The ARGenericTableViewController framework offers a higher flexibility to create tables with different cell types in iOS using an object oriented approach.

The ARGenericTableViewController is a iOS component to configure TableViews. Just like static TableViews in the Storyboard you can easily configure complex TableViews with lots of different Cell Classes in Code. The sections and cells of the TableView are represented by plain objects which have all the information to layout the TableView and to react to user events.

You can change the content of the TableView by modifying the objects. Surley the changes can be animated. All the TableView delegate and datasource protocol methods are implemented for you.

Please enjoy this framework!

Features:

• configure the TableView with objects and blocks
• simplifies the creation of static or dynamic TableViews
• provides the ability to change the content of the TableView very easily and with animations
• works with iOS 5.0+
• uses ARC
• available via CocoaPods
• MIT open source licence

How to use

1. Create a subclass of the ARGenericTableViewController (It is also possible to work directly with the ARGenericTableViewController)

2. Create an ARTableViewData object as a representation of the whole tableview

3. Create and configure an ARSectionData object and add it to the ARTableViewData object with the addSectionData: method

4. Create and configure an ARCellData object and add it to the ARSectionData object with the addCellData: method

5. Set the tableViewData property of the ARGenericTableViewController. This will automatically reload the TableView

Example

ARTableViewData *tableViewData = [[ARTableViewData alloc] init];
ARSectionData *sectionData = [[ARSectionData alloc] init];
sectionData.headerTitle = @"Header";
[tableViewData addSectionData:sectionData];

ARCellData *cellData = [[ARCellData alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"Cell"];
cellData.editable = YES;
cellData.heigth = 44;

[cellData setCellConfigurationBlock:^(UITableViewCell *cell) {
    // called in cellForRowAtIndexPath
    cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Cell %d", i];
}];

[cellData setCellSelectionBlock:^(UITableView *tableView, NSIndexPath *indexPath) {
    // called in didSelectRowAtIndexPath
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] init];
    alert.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Cell %d", i];
    [alert addButtonWithTitle:@"OK"];
    [alert show];
}];

[sectionData addCellData:cellData];

// tableViewData property is provided by ARGenericTableViewController
self.tableViewData = tableViewData;
