APLCollectionViewDataSource is a simple array based datasource for collection views.
It implements all required UICollectionViewDataSource methods so that the view controller only needs to implement a single delegate-method which configure the cells with an item.
- Supports multiple cell identifiers.
- Currently a single supplementary view is supported.
APLCollectionViewDataSource is available through CocoaPods, to install it simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod "APLCollectionViewDataSource"
Import header file:
#import "APLCollectionViewDataSource.h"
Declare a dataSource property:
@property (nonatomic) APLCollectionViewDataSource *dataSource;
Create a APLCollectionViewDataSource instance and configure it:
APLCollectionViewDataSource *dataSource= [APLCollectionViewDataSource new];
dataSource.collectionView = self.collectionView; // sets itself as collection view data source
dataSource.cellIdentifier = @"cell";
dataSource.delegate = self; // needs to conform to APLCollectionViewDataSourceDelegate
dataSource.objects = @[]; // your data arry
self.dataSource = dataSource;
Declare the protocol method required to configure your cell
- (void)configureCollectionViewCell:(UICollectionViewCell *)cell forItem:(id)item atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// configure cell
}
When you retrieve new data, update your dataSource like this:
self.dataSource.objects = newObjects;
- Multiple sections.
- Multiple supplementary views.
