Key Features
- Efficient view reuse by managing a deque of reusable views
- Easy integration with UICollectionView and UITableView
- Automatic cell registration and dequeuing
- Convenience methods for registering and dequeuing reusable views
- Reduces memory footprint and improves scrolling performance
Installation
To integrate SwiftyDequeuable into your project, follow these steps:
- Open your project in Xcode.
- Add the SwiftyDequeuable library to your project using one of the following methods:
Method 1: Using CocoaPods
If you are using CocoaPods for dependency management, add the following line to your Podfile:
“`ruby
pod ‘SwiftyDequeuable’
“`
Then, run the command:
“`bash
$ pod install
“`

Usage
Basic Usage
To start using SwiftyDequeuable, follow these steps:
- Make sure your custom reusable view conforms to the
Dequeuable
protocol. - Register your reusable view class for reuse with the corresponding UICollectionView or UITableView:
“`swift
collectionView.register(MyCustomView.self)
“`
- Dequeuing a reusable view:
“`swift
let view = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(for: indexPath) as MyCustomView
“`
Advanced Usage
SwiftyDequeuable provides additional methods to simplify view management:
Dequeue by Identifier
Instead of using the view class directly, you can register and dequeue views using a unique identifier:
“`swift
collectionView.register(MyCustomView.self, identifier: “myCustomViewIdentifier”)
“`
“`swift
let view = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: “myCustomViewIdentifier”, for: indexPath) as MyCustomView
“`
Dequeue Supplementary Views
SwiftyDequeuable also supports dequeuing supplementary views, such as headers and footers, with ease:
“`swift
collectionView.register(MyHeaderView.self, kind: .header)
“`
“`swift
let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: .header, withIdentifier: “myHeaderViewIdentifier”, for: indexPath) as MyHeaderView
“`
