Welcome to the documentation for the StatefulTableView framework! This page will guide you through the various features and functionalities of the framework, helping you understand how to integrate it into your iOS apps and leverage its capabilities.

About StatefulTableView

StatefulTableView is a powerful framework that provides a convenient way to manage the loading and display of data in UITableViews. It abstracts the complexities of handling multiple states of tableviews such as loading, empty, error, and content-filled states. With StatefulTableView, you can easily handle various data scenarios and gracefully present them to your users.

Installation

To install StatefulTableView in your project, you can use either Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods.

Using Swift Package Manager

To integrate StatefulTableView using Swift Package Manager, follow these steps:

  • In Xcode, open your project and navigate to the “Swift Packages” tab of your project’s settings.
  • Click the “+” button and select “Add Package Dependency”.
  • Enter the repository URL of StatefulTableView: https://github.com/username/repo
  • Choose the desired version rule and click “Next”.
  • Xcode will attempt to resolve the package and integrate it into your project.
  • Finally, import the StatefulTableView module in your source files where you want to use it.

Using CocoaPods

To integrate StatefulTableView using CocoaPods, follow these steps:

  • Ensure you have CocoaPods installed on your system.
  • Create a new Podfile or update the existing one in your project directory.
  • Add the following pod dependency: pod 'StatefulTableView'
  • Save the file and run pod install in the same directory as your Podfile.
  • CocoaPods will download the StatefulTableView framework and set up an Xcode workspace.
  • Import the StatefulTableView module in your source files where you want to use it.

Usage

Using StatefulTableView is straightforward, and only requires a few steps:

1. Importing the Framework

To use StatefulTableView in your code, you need to start by importing the framework:



import StatefulTableView

2. Creating an Instance

Next, you’ll need to create an instance of StatefulTableView in your view controller:



let statefulTableView = StatefulTableView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.bounds.width, height: view.bounds.height))

3. Configuring Data States

StatefulTableView allows you to set different states of your tableview, depending on the data availability. You can configure these states using the following properties:

  • isLoading: A boolean value indicating whether the data is currently being loaded.
  • isEmpty: A boolean value indicating whether the data is empty.
  • hasError: A boolean value indicating whether an error occurred while loading the data.

4. Handling State Changes

StatefulTableView provides delegate methods to handle state changes, such as when the data starts loading, when it’s empty, and when an error occurs. Implement the StatefulTableViewDelegate protocol to handle these changes:



class MyViewController: UIViewController, StatefulTableViewDelegate {

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()

// Assign the delegate
statefulTableView.stateDelegate = self
}

func statefulTableViewDidStartLoading() {
// Handle the loading state
}

func statefulTableViewIsEmpty() {
// Handle the empty state
}

func statefulTableViewDidError(_ error: Error) {
// Handle the error state
}
}

Make sure to implement the required delegate methods accordingly to handle state changes as per your app’s requirements.

5. Reloading Data

To reload the data in your StatefulTableView, simply call the reloadData() method:



statefulTableView.reloadData()

This will reload the data based on the current configuration and update the tableview accordingly.

6. Customization

You can customize the appearance and behavior of StatefulTableView using various properties and methods. Refer to the official StatefulTableView documentation for more details on customization options.

Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to integrate and utilize the StatefulTableView framework in your iOS app. Now you can provide a seamless and user-friendly experience to handle various data scenarios!
