Usage

Basics

Supporting expanding cells is really simple, just follow these two steps:

1. Your table view cell has to be a sublass of ExpandingTableViewCell. Additionally you must connect the following outlets:

   • mainContainerView: will contain your primary view, which is always visible.
   • detailContainerView: the expanding part of your cell.
   • detailViewHeightConstraint: the height constraint of the expanding part.

2. Your table view controller has to be a subclass of ExpandingTableViewController, which will handle the initial setup, and manage the expanding behavior by default.

You can dequeue cells the following way:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell = super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath: indexPath) as! ExampleCell

    // customize cell here.

    return cell
}
