DDTableViewController 0.0.2

Maintained by Carl.

You want to add pod 'DDTableViewController', '~> 0.0' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'DDTableViewController', '~> 0.0'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try DDTableViewController

DDTableViewController

It’s lifetime mission for iOS developers to optimize the use of UITableView. Fortunately, I managed a brilliant and straightforward way to use it inspired by Arkadiusz Holko’s Article

Install

Manual

Drop files in Source folder into your project.

Use it

Adopt the protocol Updatable for all your UITableViewCell subclasses. Follow this format:

import DDTableViewController

class CustomCell:UITableViewCell{
    ...
}

struct CustomCellViewData {
    // Declare all properties you need to decorate the cell
    var image:UIImage
}

extension CustomCell: Updatable {
    typealias ViewData = CustomCellViewData
    func updateWithViewData(viewData: ViewData) {
        // Decorate your cell with the viewData
    }
    static var height: CGFloat{
        // Return the height of your cell here
        return 200
    }
}

Then,forget about all UITableView delegate methods,use DDTableViewController:

let cellConfigurators:[Array<CellConfiguratorType>] = [
    // section 0
    [
        // section 0 row 0
        CellConfigurator<ImageCell>(viewData: ImageCellViewData(image: UIImage(named: "sample.png")!), initFromNib: false),
        // section 0 row 1
        CellConfigurator<TextCell>(viewData: TextCellViewData(text: "Hello World"), initFromNib: false)
    ],
    //section 1
    [
        CellConfigurator<ImageCell>(viewData: ImageCellViewData(image: UIImage(named: "sample2.png")!), initFromNib: false)
    ]
    // ...
]

let tableVC = DDTableViewController(cellConfigurators: cellConfigurators)
self.addChildViewController(tableVC)
self.view.addSubview(tableVC.view)
tableVC.didMoveToParentViewController(self)

Mission Complete! (See example in Demo folder)

Other APIs

Insert Cell

func insertCellAtIndexPath(indexPath indexPath:NSIndexPath, withCellConfigurator cellConfigurator:CellConfiguratorType, RowAnimation animation:UITableViewRowAnimation)

Delete Cell

func deleteCellAtIndexPath(indexPath indexPath:NSIndexPath, withRowAnimation animation:UITableViewRowAnimation)

Reload

// Manually manipulate the model layer
tableVC.cellConfigurators.append(...)
tableVC.tableView.reloadData()

Scroll

func scrollToBottom(animated animated:Bool)
func scrollToTop(animated animated:Bool)
