## Features

* Automatic pagination handling
* No more awkward empty CollectionView screen
* AZ CollectionVIew controller give you advantage to connect your (Loading, no result, error ) views via Interface builder
* You can also add your custom xib as dummy views (loading, error, no result)

## Installation

### CocoaPods

[CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org) is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

```bash
$ gem install cocoapods
```

To integrate AZ CollectionVIew controller into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your `Podfile`:

```ruby
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

target '' do
pod 'AZCollectionViewController'
end
```

Then, run the following command:

```bash
$ pod install
```

## Usage

#### Step 1

* Extend your view controller from AZCollectionViewController
```swift

class ViewController: AZCollectionViewController {

var lastIndex = 0
var results = [String]()

override func viewDidLoad() {

nextLoadingCellNibName = "LoadingCollectionViewCell"
nextLoadingCellIdentifier = "LoadingCollectionViewCell"
loadNextPageLoaderCell(nibName: nextLoadingCellNibName, cellIdentifier: nextLoadingCellIdentifier) // Only if you want personal NextPage loading cell

super.viewDidLoad()
self.fetchData()

}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}

}

```

#### Step 2

* Same as AZTableVIewController
* Set the loading views outlet as given below
* Connect collectionView outlet as well

* To load views from custom .xib files

```swift

class ViewController: AZCollectionViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {

self.loadLoadingView(nibName: "your nib name") // if bundle is nil
self.loadErrorView(nibName: "your nib name", bundle: yourBundle) // if custom bundle

super.viewDidLoad()
self.fetchData()
}
}
```
* If your xibs are in main bundle than use
```swift
self.loadLoadingView(nibName: "your nib name") // if bundle is nil
```
Else use
```swift
self.loadLoadingView(nibName: "your nib name", bundle: yourBundle)
```

#### Step 3

* And override AZCollectionView cellForRow function.

```swift
extension ViewController {

override func AZCollectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! TestCollectionViewCell

cell.feedImage.image = UIImage(named: self.results[indexPath.row])

return cell
}

override func AZCollectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {

return CGSize(width: (collectionView.frame.size.width / 3) - 6, height: (collectionView.frame.size.width / 3) - 4)

}
}

```
#### Step 4

* Override two more functions "fetchData" and "fetchNextData"

```swift
//MARK: - API Call
extension ViewController {

override func fetchData() {
super.fetchData()

FakeService.getData { (error, results) in

if let resu = results {
self.results.removeAll()
self.results.append(contentsOf: resu)
self.didfetchData(resultCount: resu.count, haveMoreData: true)
}

else if let error = error {
self.errorDidOccured(error: error)
}
}
}

override func fetchNextData() {
super.fetchNextData()

FakeService.getData (offset: results.count) { (error, results) in

if let resu = results {

self.results.append(contentsOf: resu)
if self.results.count < 45 { // you probably get next page exist from service.
self.didfetchData(resultCount: resu.count, haveMoreData: true)
}
else {
self.didfetchData(resultCount: resu.count, haveMoreData: false)
}
}
else if let error = error {
self.errorDidOccured(error: error)
}
}
}
}

```

#### Done
Thats it, you successfully integrate AZCollectionViewController
