| 11 | +## Requirements |
| 12 | +- macOS 10.15+ (Catalyst) |
| 13 | +- iOS 13.0+ |
| 14 | +- tvOS 13.0+ |
| 15 | +- watchOS 6.0+ |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Installation |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### [Swift Package Manager](https://swift.org/package-manager/) |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Add the following to the dependencies of your `Package.swift: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +```swift |
| 24 | +.package(url: "https://github.com/FelixHerrmann/FHDiffableViewControllers", from: "x.x.x") |
| 25 | +``` |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### Manual |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Download the files in the [Sources](https://github.com/FelixHerrmann/FHDiffableViewControllers/tree/master/Sources) folder and drag them into you project. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## Usage |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +If you are using Swift Package Manager, you have to import FHDiffableViewControllers to your file with `import FHDiffableViewControllers`. You can also import it globally with `@_exported import FHDiffableViewControllers`. (e.g. in `AppDelegate.swift`) |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Now you can inherit your view controller class from `FHDiffableTableViewController` and `FHDiffableCollectionViewController`. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +But first we need a `SectionIdentifier` and `ItemIdentifier` which will be used for the generic types. Both types have to conform to `Hashable`. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +```swift |
| 40 | +enum Section { |
| 41 | + case main, detail |
| 42 | +} |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +struct Item: Hashable { |
| 45 | + var title: String |
| 46 | +} |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | +>It is recommend to conform the item to `Identifiable` because the app crashes if there are duplicates in the data source! |
| 49 | +
|
| 50 | +These types can be used like that: |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +```swift |
| 53 | +class ViewController: FHDiffableTableViewController<Section, Item> { |
| 54 | + override viewDidLoad() { |
| 55 | + super.viewDidLoad() |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + applySnapshot([ |
| 58 | + FHDiffableDataSourceSnapshotSection( |
| 59 | + sectionIdentifier: .main, |
| 60 | + itemIdentifiers: [ |
| 61 | + Item(title: "First Item"), |
| 62 | + Item(title: "Second Item") |
| 63 | + ] |
| 64 | + ), |
| 65 | + FHDiffableDataSourceSnapshotSection( |
| 66 | + sectionIdentifier: .detail, |
| 67 | + itemIdentifiers: [ |
| 68 | + Item(title: "Third Item") |
| 69 | + ] |
| 70 | + ) |
| 71 | + ], animatingDifferences: false) |
| 72 | + } |
| 73 | +} |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | +>This is the most simple implementation of a FHDiffableTableViewController. |
| 76 | +
|
| 77 | +### Customize Cells |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +In order to use custom cells, the `cellProvider` property must be overritten. This works exactly the same for table view and collection view. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +```swift |
| 82 | +override var cellProvider: UITableViewDiffableDataSource<Section, Item>.CellProvider { |
| 83 | + return { (tableView, indexPath, item) in |
| 84 | + let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "customCell", for: indexPath) as? CustomCell |
| 85 | + cell?.textLabel?.text = item.title |
| 86 | + return cell |
| 87 | + } |
| 88 | +} |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +Do not forget to register the cell bevor you call `applySnapshot(_:)` the first time! |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +```swift |
| 94 | +tableView.register(CustomCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "customCell") |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +### Customize Header and Footer Views (only collection view) |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +In order to use custom header or footer views, the `supplementaryViewProvider` property must be overritten. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +```swift |
| 102 | +override var supplementaryViewProvider: UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource<Section, Item>.SupplementaryViewProvider { |
| 103 | + return { (collectionView, kind, indexPath) in |
| 104 | + let headerView = collectionView.dequeueReusableSupplementaryView(ofKind: kind, withReuseIdentifier: "customHeader", for: indexPath) as? CustomHeader |
| 105 | + switch self.dataSource.snapshot().sectionIdentifiers[indexPath.section] { |
| 106 | + case .main: |
| 107 | + headerView?.backgroundColor = .systemGreen |
| 108 | + case .detail: |
| 109 | + headerView?.backgroundColor = .systemPink |
| 110 | + } |
| 111 | + return headerView |
| 112 | + } |
| 113 | +} |
| 114 | +``` |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +Do not forget to register the cell bevor you call `applySnapshot(_:)` the first time! |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +```swift |
| 119 | +collectionView.register(CustomHeader.self, forSupplementaryViewOfKind: UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader, withReuseIdentifier: "customHeader") |
| 120 | +``` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +### Custom Data Source |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +In case you want to change the behavior of the title creation or you want to use section index titles and other features you have to subclass the appropriate data source. For the table view it could look something like that: |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +```swift |
| 127 | +class CustomDataSource: UITableViewDiffableDataSource<Section, Item> { |
| 128 | + override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? { |
| 129 | + switch snapshot().sectionIdentifiers[section] { |
| 130 | + case .main: |
| 131 | + return "Main" |
| 132 | + case .detail: |
| 133 | + return "Detail" |
| 134 | + } |
| 135 | + } |
| 136 | +} |
| 137 | +``` |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +>Use `UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource` for collection view. |
| 140 | +
|
| 141 | +So that it can be used in our view controller we have to create a lazy var of this and override the `dataSource` property with it. |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +```swift |
| 144 | +lazy var customDataSource = CustomDataSource(tableView: tableView, cellProvider: cellProvider) |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +override var dataSource: UITableViewDiffableDataSource<Section, Item> { |
| 147 | + return customDataSource |
| 148 | +} |
| 149 | +``` |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +### Custom `applySnapshot(_:)` |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +You are not forced to use `applySnapshot(_:)` in combination with `FHDiffableDataSourceSection` array to apply snapshots to your `dataSource`. You can override the `applySnapshot(_:)` to change its behavior, create your own `applySnapshot()` method or do it manually as follows: |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +```swift |
| 156 | +var snapshot = FHSnapshot() |
| 157 | +snapshot.appendSections([.main, .detail]) |
| 158 | +snapshot.appendItems([Item(title: "Main Item")], toSection: .main) |
| 159 | +snapshot.appendItems([Item(title: "Detail Item")], toSection: .detail) |
| 160 | +dataSource.apply(snapshot, animatingDifferences: true, completion: nil) |
| 161 | +``` |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +### init(layout:) |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +I use a custom initializer for the `FHDiffableCollectionViewController` which is based on an enum. This contains a case for `UICollectionViewFlowLayout`, for `UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout`, for a custom `UICollectionViewLayout` or a default case. The default case creates a compositional layout which is only intended to be used for testing. |
