STCollapseTableView

A UITableView subclass that automatically collapse and/or expand your sections.

You just have to fill your datasource like for a classic UITableView and the magic will happen.

How to use it ?

By default all the sections are closed, so no rows will be displayed ! But you have now access to several new table view methods:

- (void)openSection:(NSUInteger)sectionIndex animated:(BOOL)animated;
- (void)closeSection:(NSUInteger)sectionIndex animated:(BOOL)animated;
- (void)toggleSection:(NSUInteger)sectionIndex animated:(BOOL)animated;
- (BOOL)isOpenSection:(NSUInteger)sectionIndex;

As their names suggests, those methods allows to open or close a section and can be animated or not. The last one returns a boolean to know if a section is currently open.

so if you want the first section to be open after your view is loaded, you could write:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    [self.tableView reloadData];
    [self.tableView openSection:0 animated:NO];
}

By default if you open a section, any other that is open will automatically be closed. This can be prevented by setting this property to NO:

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL exclusiveSections;

As you might have seen, your headers automatically toggle theirs section on a tap ! This is automatically done for you in three conditions:

  • Your datasource implements the tableView:heightForHeaderInSection: method
  • The returned views haven't any UITapGestureRecognizer.
  • the STCollapseTableView property shouldHandleHeadersTap is YES (which is the default value).

Installation

To include this component in your project, I recommend you to use Cocoapods:

  • Add pod "STCollapseTableView" to your Podfile.

How does it work ?
