UITableViewController

Introduction#

UITableViewController controller object that manages a table view. For some certain scenario it will be recommended to use UITableViewController, for example if you have lot of cells and some have UITextfield.

TableView with dynamic properties with tableviewCellStyle basic.

override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    // You need to return minimum one to show the cell inside the tableview
    return 1
}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    // return the number of rows inside the tableview.
    return 3
}


override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath) 
// identifier string should be same as what you have entered in the cell Attribute inspector -> identifier (see the image).

    // Configure the cell...
    cell.textLabel?.text = "Cell \(indexPath.row) :" + "Hello"
//cell have different style Custom, basic, right detail, left detail, subtitle.
//For custom you can use your own objects and constrains, for other styles all
//is ready just select according to your design. (see the image for changing the style) 

    return cell
}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        // this delegate method will trigger when you click a cell
}

TableView with Custom Cell

For custom tableview cell you need a class that is subclass from UITableViewCell, an example class you can see below.

class TableViewCell: UITableViewCell {

@IBOutlet weak var lblTitle: UILabel!

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()
    // Initialization code
}

override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
    super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

    // Configure the view for the selected state
}

}

Your tableview delegates

override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        // You need to return minimum one to show the cell inside the tableview
        return 1
    }

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    // return the number of rows inside the tableview.
    return 3
}


override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath) as! TableViewCell
    // identifier string should be same as what you have entered in the cell Attribute inspector -> identifier.
    
    // Configure the cell...
    cell.lblTitle.text = "Cell \(indexPath.row) :" + "Hello"
    
    
    return cell
}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    // this delegate method will trigger when you click a cell
}
