ROGenericTableViewController

A generic TableViewController class which is able to deal with custom created objects very easily

How to use

The usage is really straighforward. Include the ROGenericTableViewController.swift. Instead of implementing the different UITableViewController Delegate methods use the createGenericViewController Method to create a UITableViewController.

Custom created object can be anything. The ROGenericTableViewController class does not need to know which object you are passing.

class Company {
    var name:String = ""
    var amountWorkers:Int = 0

    init(_ name:String, _ amountWorkers:Int) {
        self.name = name
        self.amountWorkers = amountWorkers
    }
}

This is the whole code which is needed to display a custom created class in a UITableView.

      override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        var glencore = Company("Glencore", 10000)
        var nestle = Company("Nestle", 80011)

        var cellForRow = ({ (tableView:UITableView, company:Company) -> UITableViewCell in
            // CellForRowAtIndexPath
            var customCell:UITableViewCell? = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell") as! UITableViewCell?

            if customCell == nil {
                customCell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Subtitle, reuseIdentifier: "Cell") as UITableViewCell
            }

            customCell!.textLabel?.text = company.name
            customCell!.detailTextLabel?.text = "Amount of workers: \(company.amountWorkers)"

            return customCell!
        })

        var didCellSelect = ({(company:Company) -> () in
            println("Company: \(company.name) got selected")
        })

        var tableViewController = createViewControllerGeneric([nestle, glencore], cellForRow, didCellSelect) as! ROGenericTableViewController

        // Add the swipe actions to the tableViewController
        tableViewController.swipeActions = createSwipeActions()

        self.viewControllers = [tableViewController]
    }

    func createSwipeActions() -> [UITableViewRowAction] {
        var favAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Normal, title: "Fire all employees") { (action, indexPath) -> Void in
            println("Fire everyone from the company")
        }

        favAction.backgroundColor = UIColor.brownColor()

        return [favAction]
    }
