TableAdapter

A replacement for UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate

###Background Implementing UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate methods in each view controller is a pain. Not to mention when using different cells in the table view. This framework aims to solve the issue by providing an object to represent a table view section and a controller to manage multiple sections.

###Example To set up your table view, you must:

1. Initialize an instance of TableViewDataSource (Either in a storyboard or code).
2. Set the TableViewDataSource's tableView property (Either in storyboard or code).
3. Manually register the cell classes to the tableView using registerClass:forCellReuseIdentifier: or registerNib:forCellReuseIdentifier:.
4. In viewDidLoad, configure a TableViewSection, and configure the properties as you wish. The properties that are not explicitly marked as optional (?) are required to be set before the section is added to the data source.
5. Add the section to the data source.

class ExampleViewController: UIViewController {
    let viewModel = ExampleViewModel()

    @IBOutlet var tableView: UITableView!
    var tableDataSource = TableViewDataSource()
    
    
    // Other properties...
    
    override func setupTableView() {
        // !!!: If not using storyboards or .xib's, cell classes must be manually registered with table view
        tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "TestCell")
        tableView.registerNib(TableSectionHeaderView.nib(), forHeaderFooterViewReuseIdentifier: "HeaderView")
        
        // !!!: You must set the TableViewDataSource tableView
        tableDataSource.tableView = tableView
        
        // !!!: Configure the section
        var sectionOne = TableViewSection()
        sectionOne.objects = viewModel.dataSource
        sectionOne.rowHeight = 50
        sectionOne.sectionHeaderHeight = 75
        sectionOne.sectionFooterHeight = 15
        sectionOne.cellIdentifier = { _, _ in return "TestCell" }
        sectionOne.headerConfiguration = headerConfiguration()
        sectionOne.cellConfiguration = cellConfiguration()
        sectionOne.footerConfiguration = footerConfiguration()
        sectionOne.selectionBlock = cellSelectionBlock()
        
        tableDataSource.addSection(sectionOne)
    }
    
    // Other methods...
}

###Installation Add the library as a git submodule and then add the .xcodeproj to your project Detailed instructions coming soon
