How to reload the settings menu

[alamodey]

Hi, I need to be able to programatically reload the settings view for two reasons:

• some users are confused after they upgrade to premium that the menu still has options disabled as though they are not premium users
• I have using this NavigationRow(text: "CellStyle", detailText: .value2(".value2")) and after a user selects a new option for .value2 I want my settings menu to display the new value instead of the initial one loaded at app launch

Is it possible to reload the menu? Thanks.

I suppose by "reload the menu", it means reloading the table view?

Updating tableContent reloads the table view so you can recreate table contents whenever the setting's value changes.

class ViewController: QuickTableViewController {
    private var settingsValue = SettingsValue() {
        didSet {
            tableContent = recreateTableContent()
        }
    }
}

extension ViewController: AnotherViewControllerDelegate {
    func anotherViewController(_ controller: AnotherViewController, didUpdateSettingsValue value: SettingsValue) {
        settingsValue = value
    }
}

I am a bit confused by this, are you able to update your code base so it automatically reloads, or at least gives the option to?

Alternatively I tried to just re-create the table in viewDidAppear - it works, except there's a bit of lag so you can see the .value2 text change from the previous value to the new one.

If you recreate the table content in viewDidAppear(_:), the table view reloads after the view appears.

Basically recreating the tableContent reloads the table view. Where and when to update the tableContent depends on your business logic.

Ah thanks for pointing that out. I just re-drew the table in viewWillAppear instead and it works fine. 🙂
