Usage

You can setting the cell appearance and events callback at the same time.
ViewController and Cell does not need to override the ones that are provided by default.

Simple Example

import Former

final class ViewController: FormViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let labelRow = LabelRowFormer<FormLabelCell>()
            .configure { row in
                row.text = "Label Cell"
            }.onSelected { row in
                // Do Something
        }
        let inlinePickerRow = InlinePickerRowFormer<FormInlinePickerCell, Int>() {
            $0.titleLabel.text = "Inline Picker Cell"
            }.configure { row in
                row.pickerItems = (1...5).map {
                    InlinePickerItem(title: "Option\($0)", value: Int($0))
                }
            }.onValueChanged { item in
                // Do Something
        }
        let header = LabelViewFormer<FormLabelHeaderView>() { view in
            view.titleLabel.text = "Label Header"
        }
        let section = SectionFormer(rowFormer: labelRow, inlinePickerRow)
            .set(headerViewFormer: header)
        former.append(sectionFormer: section)
    }
}

RowFormer

RowFormer is base of the class that manages the cell.
Cell that managed by the RowFormer class should conform to the corresponding protocol.
Each of RowFormer classes You can set the event handling in function named like on~ (onSelected, onValueChanged, etc...)
Default provided RowFormer classes and the protocols that corresponding to it are the below.

Demo	Class	Protocol	Default provided cell
Free	CustomRowFormer	None	None
	LabelRowFormer	LabelFormableRow	FormLabelCell
	TextFieldRowFormer	TextFieldFormableRow	FormTextFieldCell
	TextViewRowFormer	TextViewFormableRow	FormTextViewCell
	CheckRowFormer	CheckFormableRow	FormCheckCell
	SwitchRowFormer	SwitchFormableRow	FormSwitchCell
	StepperRowFormer	StepperFormableRow	FormStepperCell
	SegmentedRowFormer	SegmentedFormableRow	FormSegmentedCell
	SliderRowFormer	SliderFormableRow	FormSliderCell
	PickerRowFormer	PickerFormableRow	FormPickerCell
	DatePickerRowFormer	DatePickerFormableRow	FormDatePickerCell
	SelectorPickerRowFormer	SelectorPickerFormableRow	FormSelectorPickerCell
	SelectorDatePickerRowFormer	SelectorDatePickerFormableRow	FormSelectorDatePickerCell
	InlinePickerRowFormer	InlinePickerFormableRow	FormInlinePickerCell
	InlineDatePickerRowFormer	InlineDatePickerFormableRow	FormInlineDatePickerCell

example with LabelRowFormer

let labelRow = LabelRowFormer<YourLabelCell>(instantiateType: .Nib(nibName: "YourLabelCell")) {
    $0.titleLabel.textColor = .blackColor()
    }.configure { row in
        row.rowHeight = 44
        row.text = "Label Cell"
    }.onSelected { row in
        print("\(row.text) Selected !!")
}

update the cell

row.update()
row.update { row in
    row.text = "Updated title"
}
row.cellUpdate { cell in
    cell.titleLabel.textColor = .redColor()
}

get cell instance

let cell = row.cell
print(cell.titleLabel.text)

set dynamic row height

row.dynamicRowHeight { tableView, indexPath -> CGFloat in
    return 100
}

ViewFormer

ViewFormer is base of the class that manages the HeaderFooterView.
HeaderFooterView that managed by the ViewFormer class should conform to the corresponding protocol.
Default provided ViewFormer classes and the protocols that corresponding to it are the below.

Demo	Class	Protocol	Default provided cell
Free	CustomViewFormer	None	None
	LabelViewFormer	LabelFormableView	FormLabelHeaderView FormLabelFooterView

example with LabelViewFormer

let headerView = LabelViewFormer<YourLabelView>(instantiateType: .Nib(nibName: "YourLabelView")) {
    $0.titleLabel.textColor = .blackColor()
    }.configure { view in
        view.viewHeight = 30
        view.text = "Label HeaderFooter View"
}

SectionFormer

SectionFormer is a class that represents the Section of TableView.
SectionFormer can append, add, insert, remove the RowFormer and set the ViewFormer.
example

let section = SectionFormer(rowFormer: row1, row2, row3)
    .set(headerViewFormer: headerView)
    .set(footerViewFormer: footerView)

add the cell

section.append(rowFormer: row1, row2, row3)
section.add(rowFormers: rows)
section.insert(rowFormer: row, toIndex: 3)
section.insert(rowFormer: row, below: otherRow)
// etc...

remove the cell

section.remove(0)
section.remove(0...5)
section.remove(rowFormer: row)
// etc...

set the HeaderFooterViewe

section.set(headerViewFormer: headerView)
section.set(footerViewFormer: footerView)

Former

Former is a class that manages the entire form.
Examples is below.
add the section or cell

former.append(sectionFormer: row)
former.add(sectionFormers: rows)
former.insert(sectionFormer: section, toSection: 0)
former.insert(rowFormer: row, toIndexPath: indexPath)
former.insert(sectionFormer: section, above: otherSection)
former.insert(rowFormers: row, below: otherRow)
// etc...

// with animation
former.insertUpdate(sectionFormer: section, toSection: 0, rowAnimation: .Automatic)
former.insertUpdate(rowFormer: row, toIndexPath: indexPath, rowAnimation: .Left)
former.insertUpdate(sectionFormer: section, below: otherSection, rowAnimation: .Fade)
former.insertUpdate(rowFormers: rows, above: otherRow, rowAnimation: .Bottom)
// etc...

remove the section or cell

former.removeAll()
former.remove(rowFormer: row1, row2)
former.remove(sectionFormer: section1, section2)
// etc...

// with animation
former.removeAllUpdate(.Fade)
former.removeUpdate(sectionFormers: sections, rowAnimation: .Middle)
// etc...

Select and deselect the cell

former.select(indexPath: indexPath, animated: true, scrollPosition: .Middle)
former.select(rowFormer: row, animated: true)
former.deselect(true)
// etc...

end editing

former.endEditing()

become editing next/previous cell

if former.canBecomeEditingNext() {
    former.becomeEditingNext()
}
if former.canBecomeEditingPrevious() {
    former.becomeEditingPrevious()
}

Customizability

ViewController
There is no need to inherit the FormViewController.
Create an instance of UITableView and Former, as in the following example.

final class YourViewController: UIViewController {    

    private let tableView: UITableView = UITableView(frame: CGRect.zero, style: .Grouped) // It may be IBOutlet. Not forget to addSubview.
    private lazy var former: Former = Former(tableView: self.tableView)

    ...

Cell Need not to inherit the default provided cell (FormLabelCell etc ...), but need conform to the corresponding protocol. You can use course Nib. Example with LabelRowFormer:

final class YourCell: UITableViewCell, LabelFormableRow {

    // MARK: LabelFormableRow

    func formTextLabel() -> UILabel? {
        return titleLabel
    }

    func formSubTextLabel() -> UILabel? {
        return subTitleLabel
    }

    func updateWithRowFormer(rowFormer: RowFormer) {
        // Do something
    }

    // MARK: UITableViewCell

    var titleLabel: UILabel?
    var subTitleLabel: UILabel?

    ...

RowFormer If you want to create a custom RowFormer, inherits the BaseRowFormer and comply with the Formable protocol.
It must conform to In ConfigurableInlineForm in case of InlineRowFomer, conform to UpdatableSelectorForm case of SelectorRowFormer. Please look at the source code for details.
Examples of RowFormer of cells with two a UITextField:

public protocol DoubleTextFieldFormableRow: FormableRow {

    func formTextField1() -> UITextField
    func formTextField2() -> UITextField
}

public final class DoubleTextFieldRowFormer<T: UITableViewCell where T: DoubleTextFieldFormableRow>
: BaseRowFormer<T>, Formable {

    // MARK: Public

    override public var canBecomeEditing: Bool {
        return enabled
    }

    public var text1: String?
    public var text2: String?

    public required init(instantiateType: Former.InstantiateType = .Class, cellSetup: (T -> Void)? = nil) {
        super.init(instantiateType: instantiateType, cellSetup: cellSetup)
    }

    public final func onText1Changed(handler: (String -> Void)) -> Self {
        onText1Changed = handler
        return self
    }

    public final func onText2Changed(handler: (String -> Void)) -> Self {
        onText2Changed = handler
        return self
    }

    open override func cellInitialized(cell: T) {
        super.cellInitialized(cell)
        cell.formTextField1().addTarget(self, action: "text1Changed:", forControlEvents: .EditingChanged)
        cell.formTextField2().addTarget(self, action: "text2Changed:", forControlEvents: .EditingChanged)
    }

    open override func update() {
        super.update()

        cell.selectionStyle = .None
        let textField1 = cell.formTextField1()
        let textField2 = cell.formTextField2()
        textField1.text = text1
        textField2.text = text2        
    }

    // MARK: Private

    private final var onText1Changed: (String -> Void)?
    private final var onText2Changed: (String -> Void)?    

    private dynamic func text1Changed(textField: UITextField) {
        if enabled {
            let text = textField.text ?? ""
            self.text1 = text
            onText1Changed?(text)
        }
    }

    private dynamic func text2Changed(textField: UITextField) {
        if enabled {
            let text = textField.text ?? ""
            self.text2 = text
            onText2Changed?(text)
        }
    }
