Usage

Creating manager

Creating section

let titles = ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"]
var cellItems = [ExampleCollectionViewCellItem]()
titles.forEach { title in
let cellItem = ExampleCollectionViewCellItem(title: title)
    cellItems.append(cellItem)
}

let sectionItem = CollectionViewSectionItem(cellItems: cellItems)
manager.sectionItems = [sectionItem]

Cell item implementation

class ExampleCollectionViewCellItem: CollectionViewCellItemProtocol {
    
    private let title: String
    
    var reuseType = ReuseType(cellClass: ExampleCollectionViewCell.self)
    
    init(title: String) {
        self.title = title
    }
    
    func size(for collectionView: UICollectionView, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
        return CGSize(width: 100, height: 40)
    }
    
    func cell(for collectionView: UICollectionView, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
        let cell: ExampleCollectionViewCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(for: indexPath)
        cell.titleLabel.text = title
        return cell
    }
    
    func size(for collectionView: UICollectionView, with layout: UICollectionViewLayout, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
        return size(for: collectionView, at: indexPath)
    }
