# Thunder Table



[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/3sidedcube/ThunderTable.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/3sidedcube/ThunderTable) [![Swift 5.5](http://img.shields.io/badge/swift-5.5-brightgreen.svg)](https://swift.org/blog/swift-5-5-released/) [![Apache 2](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202-brightgreen.svg)](LICENSE.md)



Thunder Table is a useful framework which enables quick and easy creation of table views in iOS, making the process of creating complex tables as simple as a few lines of code; and removing the necessity for having long chains of index paths and if statements.



## How It Works



Thunder table comprises of two main types of objects:



### Rows



Table rows are objects that conform to the `Row` protocol, this protocol has properties such as: title, subtitle and image which are responsible for providing the content to a table view cell. As this is a protocol any object can conform to it, which allows you to simply send an array of model objects to the table view to display your content.



### Sections



Table sections are objects that conform to the `Section` protocol, most of the time you won't need to implement this protocol yourself as Thunder Table has a convenience class `TableSection` which can be used in most circumstances. However you can implement more complex layouts using this protocol on your own classes.



# Installation



Setting up your app to use ThunderTable is a simple and quick process. You can choose between a manual installation, or use Carthage.



## Carthage



- Add `github "3sidedcube/ThunderTable" == 2.0.0` to your Cartfile.

- Run `carthage update --platform ios --use-xcframeworks` to fetch the framework.

- Drag `ThunderTable` into your project's _Frameworks and Libraries_ section from the `Carthage/Build` folder (Embed).

- Add the Build Phases script step as defined [here](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#if-youre-building-for-ios-tvos-or-watchos).



## Manual



- Clone as a submodule, or download this repo

- Import ThunderTable.xcproject into your project

- Add ThunderTable.framework to your Embedded Binaries.

- Wherever you want to use ThunderTable use `import ThunderTable`.



# Code Example

## A Simple Table View Controller



Setting up a table view is massively simplified using thunder table, in fact, we can get a simple table view running with just a few lines of code. To create a custom table view we subclass from `TableViewController`. We then set up our table in the `viewDidLoad:` method. Below is the full code for a table view that displays one row, with text, a subtitle, image and handles table selection by pushing another view.



```

import ThunderTable



class MyTableViewController: TableViewController {

    

    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()

        

        let imageRow = TableRow(title: "Settings", subtitle: "Configure your settings", image: UIImage(named: "settings-cog")) { (row, selected, indexPath, tableView) -> (Void) in

            

            let settings = SettingsViewController()

            self.showDetailViewController(settings, sender: self)

        }

        

        let section = TableSection(rows: [imageRow])

        data = [section]

    }

}

```
