# ConfigurableTableViewController

Simple view controller that provides a way to configure a table view with multiple types of cells while keeping type safety. To learn what and whys I encourage you to read the [associated blog post][blog-post].

## Usage

Let's say we want to present a table view controller with four rows: two with text and two with images. We start by creating view data structures that cells will be configurable with:

```swift
struct TextCellViewData {
let title: String
}

struct ImageCellViewData {
let image: UIImage
}
```

and the cells themselves:

```swift
class TextTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
func updateWithViewData(viewData: TextCellViewData) {
textLabel?.text = viewData.title
}
}

class ImageTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
func updateWithViewData(viewData: ImageCellViewData) {
imageView?.image = viewData.image
}
}
```

Now to present a table view controller with those cells, we simply configure it in the following way:

```swift
import ConfigurableTableViewController

...

let viewController = ConfigurableTableViewController(items: [
CellConfigurator(viewData: TextCellViewData(title: "Foo")),
CellConfigurator(viewData: ImageCellViewData(image: apple)),
CellConfigurator(viewData: ImageCellViewData(image: google)),
CellConfigurator(viewData: TextCellViewData(title: "Bar")),
])

presentViewController(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
```

And ta-da :balloon::

I encourage you to check both the [implementation][Framework] and an [example app][ExampleApp].

## Demo
