##### The original version in obj-c:

![Original](https://raw.github.com/mmin18/Create-a-More-Flexible-App/master/WaxOriginal.png)

    @implementation MainViewController

    

    - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {

        return 10;

    }

    

    - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

        UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:@"Cell"];

        cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", indexPath.row + 1];

        return cell;

    }

    

    @end

##### The pacthed version with lua:

![Patched](https://raw.github.com/mmin18/Create-a-More-Flexible-App/master/WaxPatched.png)

    waxClass{"MainViewController", UITableViewController}

    

    function tableView_cellForRowAtIndexPath(self, tableView, indexPath)

    	local cell = self:ORIGtableView_cellForRowAtIndexPath(tableView, indexPath) -- The original method is retained with 'ORIG' prefix

    	cell:textLabel():setText("" .. (10 - indexPath:row()))

    	cell:detailTextLabel():setText("http://github.com/mmin18")

    	cell:textLabel():setTextColor(UIColor:redColor())

    	return cell

    end
