Eliminates boilerplate code involved with an NSFetchedResultsController and a UITableView.

Typical Usage

1. Create a reference to the tableview.
2. Open your storboard, create a tableview and set its class to CoreDataTableView.
3. Set the fetchedResultsController property and the coreDataTableViewDelegate property.
4. Implement the CoreDataTableViewDelegate protocol
5. Implement the one required method

Sample Implementation

@interface MyViewController () <CoreDataTableViewDelegate>
@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet CoreDataTableView *tableView;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
@end

@implementation MyViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [NSFetchRequest fetchRequestWithEntityName:@"Person"];
    NSSortDescriptor *lastName = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"lastName" ascending:YES];
    NSSortDescriptor *firstName = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"firstName" ascending:YES];
    [fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:@[lastName, firstName]];
    NSFetchedResultsController *frc = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest managedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext sectionNameKeyPath:@"age" cacheName:nil];

    self.tableView.fetchedResultsController = frc;
    self.tableView.coreDataTableViewDelegate = self;
}

- (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell withObject:(NSManagedObject *)object forTableView:(CoreDataTableView *)tableView
{
    NSString *firstName = [object valueForKey:@"lastName"];
    NSString *lastName = [object valueForKey:@"firstName"];
    cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", firstName, lastName];
}

More Stuff to do

Allows the user to delete a cell by swiping - removes the cell and the backing object in Core Data.

self.tableView.swipeToDelete = YES;

Displays an edit button in the top left corner that toggles editing on and off.

self.tableView.editable = YES;

Displays a plus button in the top right corner that creates a new NSManagedObject and calls the delegate method.

self.tableView.addButton = YES;

- (void)configureNewObject:(NSManagedObject *)object forTableView:(CoreDataTableView *)tableView
{
    NSLog(@"New object: %@. Yay!", object);
}

Allows the user to reorder cells when in edit mode.

self.tableView.reOrderable = YES;

- (void)tableView:(CoreDataTableView *)tableView didReOrderObject:(NSManagedObject *)object atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)sourceIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)newIndexPath
{
    object.order = newIndexPath.row; //Simplified, but you get the idea.
}

Adds a search bar to search through the tableview. Implement the search predicate delegate method.

self.tableView.searchBar = YES;

- (NSPredicate *)predicateForString:(NSString *)searchString inTableView:(CoreDataTableView *)tableView;//Return a predicate for the given searchString
{
    NSPredicate *searchPredicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF.searchString contains[cd] %@", searchString];
    return searchPredicate;
}

Self-explanatory methods

- (void)accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath inTableView:(CoreDataTableView *)tableView;
- (void)tableView:(CoreDataTableView *)tableView didSelectObject:(NSManagedObject *)object atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
- (BOOL)tableView:(CoreDataTableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
- (BOOL)tableView:(CoreDataTableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
- (BOOL)tableView:(CoreDataTableView *)tableView shouldMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)sourceIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)proposedDestinationIndexPath;
