Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+
• Xcode 7.3+

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

CocoaPods 0.39.0+ is required to build UITableViewCellManager

To integrate UITableViewCellManager into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'UITableViewCellManager'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Usage

You have to create an enum that conform UITableViewCellStructureDataSource, variable cellStructure is mandatory.

cellStructure is a variable of type UITableViewCellStructure, a struct with these parameters:

• type: UITableViewCell the type of your cell
• identifier: String the reusable identifier setted in Interface builder
• nib: String? the nib name if the cell is loaded from a .xib file, by default is nil

Create your cell manager

import UITableViewCellManager

enum MyCellType: UITableViewCellStructureDataSource {

    case simpleCell
    case nibCell

    var cellStructure: UITableViewCellStructure {

        switch self {

        case .simpleCell:
            return UITableViewCellStructure(type: UITableViewCell(), identifier: "SimpleCell")

        case .nibCell:
            return UITableViewCellStructure(type: NibTableViewCell(), identifier: "NibCell", nib: "NibTableViewCell")

        }

    }

}

Use it in your table

The library add some methods to UITableView and UITableViewCell.

In UITableView now you can create a cell and use it with

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

 	let myCell = tableView.createCell(cellType: UITableViewCellStructureDataSource)

	//...do something with the cell

	return myCell

}

or setting directly the UI with

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

 	return tableView.setUICell(cellType: UITableViewCellStructureDataSource, object: Anyobject)

}

To use it, your cell must to override the new UITableViewCell method setUI(object: AnyObject) like this way

override func setUI(object: AnyObject?) {
        
	guard let text = object as? String else { return }
     
	myCellLabel.text = text
        
}
