# Advanced NSCollectionView & NSTableView

A framework for NSCollectionView and NSTableView. It provides a collection of classes and extensions, many of them being ports of missing UIKit APIs.

**Take a look at the included sample app which demonstrates most features.**

**For a full documentation take a look at the** [Online Documentation](https://swiftpackageindex.com/flocked/AdvancedCollectionTableView/documentation/).

## NSCollectionView ItemRegistration & NSTableView CellRegistration

A registration for collection view items and table cells that greatly simplifies configurating them. A port of `UICollectionView.CellRegistration`.

```swift
struct GalleryItem {
let title: String
let image: NSImage
}

let tableCellRegistration = NSTableView.CellRegistration {
tableCell, column, row, galleryItem in

tableCell.textField.stringValue = galleryItem.title
tableCell.imageView.image = galleryItem.image

// Gets called whenever the state of the item changes (e.g. on selection)
tableCell.configurationUpdateHandler = { tableCell, state in
// Updates the text color based on selection state.
tableCell.textField.textColor = state.isSelected ? .controlAccentColor : .labelColor
}
}
```

## NSContentConfiguration

Configurates styling and content for a content view. A port of UIContentConfiguration`.

`NSCollectionviewItem`, `NSTableCellView` and `NSTableRowView` provide `contentConfiguration` where you can apply them to configurate the content of the item/cell.

### NSHostingConfiguration

A content configuration suitable for hosting a hierarchy of SwiftUI views.

With this configuration you can easily display a SwiftUI view in a collection item and table cell:

```swift
collectionViewItem.contentConfiguration = NSHostingConfiguration {
HStack {
Image(systemName: "star").foregroundStyle(.purple)
Text("Favorites")
Spacer()
}
}
```
### NSListContentConfiguration

A content configuration for a table view cell.

![NSListContentConfiguration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flocked/AdvancedCollectionTableView/main/Sources/AdvancedCollectionTableView/Documentation/AdvancedCollectionTableView.docc/Resources/NSListContentConfiguration.png)

```swift
var content = tableCell.defaultContentConfiguration()

// Configure content
content.text = "Text"
content.secondaryText = #"SecondaryText\\nImage displays a system image named "photo""#
content.image = NSImage(systemSymbolName: "photo")

// Customize appearance
content.textProperties.font = .body
content.imageProperties.tintColor = .controlAccentColor

tableCell.contentConfiguration = content
```

### NSItemContentconfiguration

A content configuration for a collection view item.

![NSItemContentconfiguration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flocked/AdvancedCollectionTableView/main/Sources/AdvancedCollectionTableView/Documentation/AdvancedCollectionTableView.docc/Resources/NSItemContentConfiguration.png)

```swift
public var content = collectionViewItem.defaultContentConfiguration()

// Configure content
content.text = "Text"
content.secondaryText = "SecondaryText"
content.image = NSImage(systemSymbolName: "Astronaut Cat")

// Customize appearance
content.secondaryTextProperties.font = .callout

collectionViewItem.contentConfiguration = content
```

## NSCollectionView Reconfigure Items

Updates the data for the items without reloading and replacing them. It provides much better performance compared to reloading items. A port of `UICollectionView.reconfigureItems`.

Any item that has been registered via `ItemRegistration`, or by class using `register(_ itemClass: NSCollectionViewItem.Type)`, can be recofigurated.

```swift
collectionView.reconfigureItems(at: indexPaths)
```

## NSTableView Cell Registration by Class

Apple only allows registering `NSTableCellView` using `NSNib`. This framework lets you register table cell class.

```swift
tableView.register(NSTableCellView.self)

let dequeuedTableCell = tableView.makeView(for: NSTableCellView.self)
```

## NSCollectionView- & NSTableViewDiffableDataSource Item Deletion

Enable deleting items via backspace via `DeletingHandlers`:

```swift
// Allow every item to be deleted
dataSource.deletingHandlers.canDelete = { items in return true }

// Update the backing store from the final item identifiers
dataSource.deletingHandlers.didDelete = { [weak self] items, transaction in
guard let self = self else { return }

self.backingStore = transaction.finalSnapshot.itemIdentifiers
}
```

## NSDiffableDataSourceSnapshot Apply Options

Apple's `apply(_:animatingDifferences:completion:)` provides two options for applying snapshots to a diffable data source depending on `animatingDifferences`:
- `true` applies a diff of the old and new state and animates updates in the UI.
- `false` is equivalent to calling `reloadData()`. It reloads every item.

`NSDiffableDataSourceSnapshotApplyOption` lets you perform a diff even without animations for much better performance compared to using Apple's `reloadData()`.

It also provides additional options:
- **usingReloadData**: All items get reloaded.
- **animated(withDuration: CGFloat)**: Changes get applied animated.
- **nonAnimated**: Changes get applied immediatly.

```swift
diffableDataSource.apply(mySnapshot, .withoutAnimation)

diffableDataSource.apply(mySnapshot, .animated(3.0))
```

## CollectionViewDiffableDataSource

An extended `NSCollectionViewDiffableDataSource that provides:
- Reordering items by dragging them via `reorderingHandlers`
- Deleting items via backspace via `deletingHandlers`
- Quicklook previews of items via spacebar by providing items conforming to `QuicklookPreviewable`
- Right click menu provider for selected items

**It includes handlers for:**
- Prefetching items
- Selecting items
- Highlighting items
- Displaying items
- Hovering items with the mouse.
- Pinching of the collection view

## TableViewDiffableDataSource

Simliar to CollectionViewDiffableDataSource.

## Quicklook for NSTableView & NSCollectionView

NSCollectionView/NSTableView `isQuicklookPreviewable` enables quicklook of selected items/cells via spacebar.

There are several ways to provide quicklook previews (see [FZQuicklook](https://github.com/flocked/FZQuicklook) for an extended documentation):

- Diffable collection view & table view datasource with an `ItemIdentifierType` conforming to `QuicklookPreviewable`:

```swift
struct GalleryItem: QuicklookPreviewable {
let title: String
let imageURL: URL

// The file url for the quicklook preview.
let previewItemURL: URL? {
return imageURL
}

// The quicklook preview title displayed on the top of the Quicklook panel.
let previewItemTitle: String? {
return title
}
}

let itemRegistration = NSCollectionView.ItemRegistration() { collectionItem, indexPath, galleryItem in
// configurate …
}

collectionView.dataSource = NSCollectionViewDiffableDataSource(collectionView: collectionView, itemRegistration: ItemRegistration)

collectionView.isQuicklookPreviewable = true
collectionView.quicklookSelectedItems()
```

- `NSCollectionViewItems`s & `NSTableCellView`s `quicklookPreview: QuicklookPreviewable?` property:

```swift
collectionViewItem.quicklookPreview = URL(fileURLWithPath: "someFile.png")
```

## Installation

Add AdvancedCollectionTableView to your app's Package.swift file, or selecting File -> Add Package Dependencies in Xcode:

```swift
.package(url: "https://github.com/flocked/AdvancedCollectionTableView")
```

If you clone the repo, you can run the sample app, which demonstrates most of the API`s.
