Why to use RSMasterTableViewKit?

UITableview is the most used UIKit control for all iOS applications. Simply using UITableview does not complete the functionality of any screen. Based on the functionality, a developer also need to code for implementing PullToRefresh, SearchBar, Pagination, Showing loading indicator, Empty data set and many more other complex scenarios. As a developer aren't you tired doing this for all your applications by repeating code everytime?

RSMasterTableViewKit is built to help developers to quickly integrate UITableView with customization they want with minimal coding effort.

Features

  • Easy to use datasource implementation (No need to write cellForRowAtIndexPath)
  • PullToRefresh
  • Pagination
  • SearchBar (Local & Web Search)
  • EmptyDataSet
  • Loading Indicator with title
  • JSON to Codable conversion
  • Networking (WebAPI request: GET, POST etc)
  • Network Reachabilty Check

Requirements

iOS 10.0+ | Xcode 8.3+ | Swift 4.0+

Installation

CocoaPods

pod 'RSMasterTableViewKit' or pod 'RSMasterTableViewKit', '~> 1.2'

Usage

Generic DataSource

// connect UITableview outlet from storyboard
@IBOutlet weak var tableView: RSTableView!

// declare a dataSource
var dataSource: RSTableViewDataSource<Comment>?       //here Comment is the datamodel

// setup tableview
dataSource = RSTableViewDataSource<Comment>(tableView: tableView, identifier: "cell") { (cell, comment, indexPath) in

    cell.textLabel?.text = "\(indexPath.row+1). \(comment.email)"
    cell.detailTextLabel?.text = comment.body
}

Empty DataSet

// set image, title, description
tableView.setEmptyDataView(title: NSAttributedString(string: "NO COMMENTS AVAILABLE"), description:  NSAttributedString(string: "Comments that you've posted will appear here."), image: UIImage(named: "nodata-comments"), background: nil)

// or
// customize background color
tableView.setEmptyDataView(title: NSAttributedString(string: "No Data found"), description: nil, image: nil, background: RSEmptyDataBackground.color(color: UIColor.white))

// or
// background view or image
tableView.setEmptyDataView(title: nil, description: NSAttributedString(string: "No Results"), image: nil, background: RSEmptyDataBackground.view(view: imageView))

PullToRefresh

tableView.addPullToRefresh { [weak self] in
    
    // your code to handle pull to refresh action
    DispatchQueue.global().asyncAfter(deadline: .now()+2, execute: {
        
        // refresh data
    })
}

// customize title and color
tableView.setPullToRefresh(tintColor: UIColor.darkGray, attributedText: NSAttributedString(string: "Fetching data"))

Pagination

tableView.addPagination { (page) in

    // url for next page
    let url = self?.getURLForPage(page)

    // fetch & append data
    self?.fetchDataFromServer(url: url!, completion: { (list) in
        self?.dataSource?.appendData(data: list)
    })
}

// set pagination parameters (Default: Start = 0 & Size = 20)

let paginationParams = PaginationParameters(page: 1, size: 50)
tableView.addPagination(parameters: paginationParams) { [weak self] (page) in
}

SearchBar

tableView.addSearchBar()

// or
tableView.addSearchBar(placeHolder: "Search..", noResultMessage: NSAttributedString(string: "No result matching your search criteria"))

// search handler
dataSource?.searchResultHandler = { [weak self] (searchString, dataArray) in

    // filter
    let result = dataArray.filter({ $0.email.starts(with: searchString) })
    self?.dataSource?.setSearchResultData(result, replace: false)
    
    // Note:
    // replace: true - will replace your main dataSource (use in case you want to search data from web)
    // replace: false - will maintain your main dataSource (use in case you want to search within existing data)
}

Loading Indicator

tableView.showIndicator(title: NSAttributedString(string: "LOADING"), tintColor: UIColor.darkGray)

Networking

// prepare request -> This returns array of comments
let request = DataModelRequest<[Comment]>(url: "URL Here")

// execute request
request.execute(success: { [weak self] (comments) in
    self?.dataSource?.appendData(data: comments)

}) { [weak self] (error) in
    self?.tableView.hideAllAnimations()
}

// or
// JSON Request
let jsonrequest = JSONRequest(url: "", method: .POST, headers: nil, parameters: nil, responeKeyPath: "data")

// Note: Specify keypath here, if you want only key specific json data
// "data" or "data.contents" etc.

DataSource Operations

// append rows to datasource
self.dataSource?.appendData(data: list)

// append at top
self.dataSource?.prependData(data: list)

// set or replace existing data with new
self.dataSource?.setData(data: list)

// clear
self.dataSource?.clearData()

Network Reachabilty

if ReachabilityManager.isReachable {
    // your code
}

// handler reachability changes
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(handleReachabiltyChanges(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.init(reachabilityChangedNotification), object: nil)

@objc func handleReachabiltyChanges(notification: Notification) {
    let isReachable = notification.userInfo?[reachabilityStatus] as? Bool ?? false

    if isReachable {
        // inform user
    }
}
