Malcommac Owl Save

Owl offers a data-driven declarative approach for building fast & flexible list in iOS.

It supports both UICollectionView & UITableView; UIStackView is on the way!

Owl was created and maintaned by Daniele Margutti - My home site www.danielemargutti.com.

Requirements

• Xcode 9.0+
• iOS 10.0+
• Swift 5+

Installation

The preferred installation method is with CocoaPods. Add the following to your Podfile:

pod 'OwlKit'

Also you can install Owl using Carthage. Add this to your Cartfile:

github "malcommac/Owl"

Owl is also compatible with SPM (Swift Package Manager) for Swift 5.x+

What you will get

This is how to achieve a fully functional Contacts list with Owl. It's just a silly example but you can create complex layout with heterogeneous models easily!

director = TableDirector(table: table)

// An adapter encapsulate the logic to render a model (Contact) with a specific ui (ContactCell).
let contactAdapter = TableCellAdapter<Contact,ContactCell> { dr in

	// Each adapter exposes all the standard methods of a list, events
	// and properties. ctx (context) received from event is a type-safe
	// object both for model and cell!
	dr.events.dequeue = { ctx in
		// element is type-safe, it's the Contact instance!
		// cell is type-safe, it's the ContactCell instance
		ctx.cell?.item = ctx.element
	}
	dr.events.didSelect = { ctx in
		let vc = ContactDetailVC(people: ctx.element)
		navigationController.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
	}
	dr.events.shouldHighlight = { ctx in
		return ctx.element.isBlacklisted == false
	}
}
// Since now our table can show Contact istances using ContactCell
// All events are received only in its adapter.
director?.registerCellAdapter(contactAdapter) 

/// Manage your content in a declarative way!
let friendsSection = TableSection(elements: [john,mark,anita])
director?.add(section: friendsSection)
director?.reload()
