TableTie 1.0.4

TableTie

A simple, generic way to populate a UITableView with data.

Inspired by Generic Table View Controllers by objc.io

Usage

Let’s say you have a list of Songs and Albums that you want to display in UITableView. Your models can be structs, classes, enums, or just Strings. Let’s use structs for the example:

struct Song {
    let title: String
}

struct Album {
    let name: String
    let artist: String
}

class SongCell: UITableViewCell {}
class AlbumCell: UITableViewCell {}

You’ll need your models to conform to TableTie.Row protocol. There’s only one required method that you’ll need to implement: func configure(cell:). In this method you’ll configure your cell according to your model. Make sure to use the correct type for the cell: parameter: it’s generic, and will work for any subclass of UITableViewCell.

extension Song: TableTie.Row {
    func configure(cell: SongCell) {
        cell.textLabel?.text = title
    }
}

extension Album: TableTie.Row {
    func configure(cell: AlbumCell) {
        cell.textLabel?.text = "\(name) by \(artist)"
    }
}

In your view controller, you’ll need to create an instance of TableTie.Adapter, and provide it with the array of your models.

class MyVC: UITableViewController {  
    let tieAdapter =
      TableTie.Adapter([
          Album(name: "Paranoid", artist:"Black Sabbath"),
          Song(title: "War Pigs"),
          Song(title: "Paranoid"),
          Song(title: "Planet Caravan")])

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        tableView.delegate = tieAdapter
        tableView.dataSource = tieAdapter

        super.viewDidLoad()
    }
}

Don’t forget to set .delegate and .dataSource for the tableView to the TableTie.Adapter instance you’ve created earlier.

And that’s all!

Please read on for more options…

Sections

...
let tieAdapter = TableTie.Adapter([
        TableTie.Section("Album", [
            Album(name: "Paranoid", artist:"Black Sabbath"),
        ]),
        TableTie.Section("Side one", [
            Song(title: "War Pigs"),
            Song(title: "Paranoid"),
            Song(title: "Planet Caravan"),
            Song(title: "Iron Man"),
        ])])
...

Custom reuseIdentifier and Storyboard support

TableTie will automagically register your cell for UITableViewCell reuse. If you need to use a specific reuseIdentifier, or if you’ve designed your cell in a storyboard, just override the reuseIdentifier property of TableTie.Row:

extension Song: TableTie.Row {
    var reuseIdentifier: String { return "reuseMePlease" } // <-- HERE

    func configure(cell: YourStoryboardCell) {
        //Do what you have to do here...
    }
}

Row height

extension Song: TableTie.Row {
    var reuseIdentifier: String { return "reuseMePlease" }
    var rowHeight: CGFloat { return 100.0 } // <-- HERE

    func configure(cell: YourStoryboardCell) {
        //Do what you have to do here...
    }
}

Row selection

  • Option 1: Use TableTie.SelectableRow wrapper
...
    tieAdapter.set([
        SelectableRow(Song(title:"Paranoid"), self.playSong("Paranoid")),
        SelectableRow(Song(title:"Iron Man"), self.playSong("Iron Man")),
    ])
...
  • Option 2: Override didSelectRow for the row
extension Song: TableTie.Row {
...
    func didSelectRow(of tableView: UITableView, at indexPath: IndexPath) {
        // Implement your logic here...
    }
...
}
  • Option 3: Set didSelect closure for TableTie.Adapter 
...
tieAdapter.didSelect = { row, tableView, indexPath in
    // Implement your logic here...
}
...
