How to disable a setting option

[alamodey]

Hi, I have just started using QuickTableViewController to create a settings tab for my iOS app. One of my settings (a toggle switch) is only applicable to users that have the premium version. How do I disable the switch, grey it out or hide it until the user has upgraded to Premium? Thanks.

Hi @alamodey,

There are a few ways to customise the cell. One of which is using the customize closure in SwitchRow. Another approach is to create a customised cell type:

class CustomSwitchCell: SwitchCell {

  func configure(isSwitchControlEnabled: Bool) {
    switchControl.isEnabled = isSwitchControlEnabled
  }

}

Then use this cell type in the specific SwitchRow and configure it with the state you need:

class ViewController: QuickTableViewController {

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    tableContents = [
      Section(title: "...", rows: [
        SwitchRow<CustomSwitchCell>(text: "...", switchValue: false, action: { _ in })
      ])
    ]
  }

  override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAt: indexPath)
    (cell as? CustomSwitchCell)?.configure(isSwitchControlEnabled: <#T##Bool#>)
    return cell
  }

}

Hope it helps.

Thanks, that worked well!

Is there something similar I can use if I wanted to grey out a set of radio buttons?

Yes, the approach is similar to grey out radio buttons.

Use a custom OptionRowCell to configure the visual style and disable cell selections using the table view delegate method:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, shouldHighlightRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool

I'm having a bit of trouble. Do you mind showing an example. If I have a simple radio button section setup like this:

tableContents = [
     
     RadioSection(title: "VOICE (REQUIRES PREMIUM)", options: [
       OptionRow(text: "♂︎ Female", isSelected: defaults.integer(forKey: "Voice") == 0, action: didToggleSelection()),
       OptionRow(text: "♀︎ Male", isSelected: defaults.integer(forKey: "Voice") == 1, action: didToggleSelection())
       ])

But only want to enable them being activated based on a condition, what will I do?

When tableView(_:shouldHighlightRowAt:) returns false, it should disable the interaction.

final class ExampleViewController: QuickTableViewController {

  private var isRadioSectionEnabled = true {
    didSet {
      guard let index = radioSectionIndex else { return }
      tableView.reloadSections([index], with: .none)
    }
  }

  private lazy var switchSection = Section(title: "Switch", rows: [
    SwitchRow(text: "Setting 1", switchValue: true, action: didToggleSwitch())
  ])

  private lazy var radioSection = RadioSection(title: "Radio Buttons", options: [
    OptionRow<CustomOptionCell>(text: "Option 1", isSelected: true, action: { _ in }),
    OptionRow<CustomOptionCell>(text: "Option 2", isSelected: false, action: { _ in })
  ])

  private var radioSectionIndex: Int?

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    tableContents = [switchSection, radioSection]
    radioSectionIndex = tableContents.firstIndex(where: { $0 === radioSection })
  }

  override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAt: indexPath)
    (cell as? CustomOptionCell)?.configureAppearance(isOptionEnabled: isRadioSectionEnabled)
    return cell
  }

  override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, shouldHighlightRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    if indexPath.section == radioSectionIndex {
      return isRadioSectionEnabled
    } else {
      return super.tableView(tableView, shouldHighlightRowAt: indexPath)
    }
  }

  private func didToggleSwitch() -> (Row) -> Void {
    return { [weak self] in
      guard let row = $0 as? SwitchRowCompatible else { return }
      self?.isRadioSectionEnabled = row.switchValue
    }
  }

}


private final class CustomOptionCell: UITableViewCell {

  func configureAppearance(isOptionEnabled: Bool) {}

}
