Description

RxPullToRefresh is a pull-to-refresh library for iOS written in Swift. It provides an easy way to add pull-to-refresh functionality to your table views and collection views using reactive programming techniques with RxSwift.

Features

  • Easy integration with UITableView and UICollectionView
  • Supports both pull-to-refresh and infinite scrolling
  • Customizable pull-to-refresh animation
  • Automatic handling of pull-to-refresh state, including loading and idle states
  • Compatible with RxSwift and RxCocoa
  • Supports iOS 10 and above

Installation

You can install RxPullToRefresh using Cocoapods. Add the following line to your Podfile:

[sourcecode language="ruby"]
pod 'RxPullToRefresh'
[/sourcecode]

Usage

UITableView

To add pull-to-refresh functionality to a UITableView, follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary modules:

[sourcecode language="swift"]
import RxPullToRefresh
import RxSwift
[/sourcecode]
  1. Create an instance of RxPullToRefresh for your desired UITableView:

[sourcecode language="swift"]
let tableViewRefreshControl = RxPullToRefresh()
[/sourcecode]
  1. Subscribe to the pull-to-refresh event and perform your desired actions:

[sourcecode language="swift"]
tableViewRefreshControl.event
    .subscribe(onNext: {
        // Perform your refresh action here
        // ...
        
        // Signal completion when finished (e.g., by calling tableViewRefreshControl.end())
        // ...
    })
    .disposed(by: disposeBag)
[/sourcecode]
  1. Assign the RxPullToRefresh instance to the UITableView’s refreshControl property:

[sourcecode language="swift"]
tableView.refreshControl = tableViewRefreshControl
[/sourcecode]

UICollectionView

Adding pull-to-refresh functionality to a UICollectionView is similar to the UITableView example. Follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary modules:

[sourcecode language="swift"]
import RxPullToRefresh
import RxSwift
[/sourcecode]
  1. Create an instance of RxPullToRefresh for your desired UICollectionView:

[sourcecode language="swift"]
let collectionViewRefreshControl = RxPullToRefresh()
[/sourcecode]
  1. Subscribe to the pull-to-refresh event and perform your desired actions:

[sourcecode language="swift"]
collectionViewRefreshControl.event
    .subscribe(onNext: {
        // Perform your refresh action here
        // ...
        
        // Signal completion when finished (e.g., by calling collectionViewRefreshControl.end())
        // ...
    })
    .disposed(by: disposeBag)
[/sourcecode]
  1. Assign the RxPullToRefresh instance to the UICollectionView’s refreshControl property:

[sourcecode language="swift"]
collectionView.refreshControl = collectionViewRefreshControl
[/sourcecode]

Advanced Customizations

RxPullToRefresh offers several customization options for your pull-to-refresh animation:

  • refreshIndicatorTintColor: change the tint color of the refresh indicator
  • refreshIndicatorLineHeight: adjust the height of the refresh indicator’s lines
  • refreshIndicatorLineWidth: modify the width of the refresh indicator’s lines
  • refreshIndicatorAnimationDuration: change the duration of the refresh indicator animation

[sourcecode language="swift"]
tableViewRefreshControl.refreshIndicatorTintColor = .blue
tableViewRefreshControl.refreshIndicatorLineHeight = 5.0
tableViewRefreshControl.refreshIndicatorLineWidth = 50.0
tableViewRefreshControl.refreshIndicatorAnimationDuration = 1.0
[/sourcecode]

Conclusion

RxPullToRefresh is a flexible and easy-to-use library for adding pull-to-refresh functionality to UITableView and UICollectionView in your iOS app. With RxSwift integration, you can leverage the power of reactive programming to handle data loading and refreshing seamlessly.
