Popular patterns for solving this problem are closures and delegates.
If you want to use closures, you would do something like this:
final class MyCell: UITableViewCell {
var actionBlock: (() -> Void)? = nil
then
@IBAction func didTapButton(sender: UIButton) {
actionBlock?()
}
then in your tableview delegate:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) - > UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("MyCellIdentifier") as? MyCell
cell?.actionBlock = {
//Do whatever you want to do when the button is tapped here
}
A popular alternative is to use the delegate pattern:
protocol MyCellDelegate: class {
func didTapButtonInCell(_ cell: MyCell)
}
final class MyCell: UITableViewCell {
weak var delegate: MyCellDelegate?
then
@IBAction func didTapButton(sender: UIButton) {
delegate?.didTapButtonInCell(self)
}
..
Now in your view controller:
then in your tableview delegate:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) - > UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("MyCellIdentifier") as? MyCell
cell?.delegate = self
And add conformance to the protocol like this:
extension MyViewController: MyCellDelegate {
didTapButtonInCell(_ cell: MyCell) {
//Do whatever you want to do when the button is tapped here
}
}
Hope this helps!
